People want to tear you down

I am sure many of you, who have become vegetarian, vegan, eating raw foods and changing their lifestyle and life, have experienced at least in some point some negative response from people, maybe even from your closest ones. Why is that?


I do not go and tell them that they will have deficiencies if they keep eating meat or dairy, or that they may end up in hospitals. Yes, i say it in my blog and in places where people are similar-minded, or to someone who really really wants to know why i eat this way. But if they dont ask, i dont tell. And i dont go to their blog, what is about eating chicken every day, and tell them to stop. I just dont go to blogs or websites like these, because i dont believe their theory. So why they come here? Here i just write for people who are really interested and open-minded. 


I have had many times an arguments over dinner table, when people start discussing vegetarian diet and go nuts over it. I am the only vegetarian (vegan) sitting there and i am the only one who dont say ANYTHING.


"Sometimes people wanna tear you down, keep in mind it is because they want to be like you and you are so far ahead of them that to knock you down would be the only way for them to catch up to you... stay strong and follow your heart and be who you are made to be."


I wrote it just because i know there´s more people out there who possibly have the same experiences after going vegetarian, vegan or raw. Just want to remind you to be who you are and if you truly believe in your heart that what you do, is right, then do it and don´t let anybody to convince you otherwise.
