From DONALD J. BARNES
Right on, Jeremy Burgess! I, too, refuse to succumb (Forum, 8 June)
to guilt for those actions which are questionable at best. Still, one does
not have to bow to the weight of self-loathing in making decisions which
have benefits for others. For example, I have no doubt that my vegan diet
decreases the pain and suffering of the world; my certainty braces my shoulders
and lightens my heart, allowing me to feel more than a touch of pride to
offset the guilt of our species.
