Day 145: Dominion

Today, my housemates and I watched Dominion, a documentary revealing the workings of the animal industry. I’ve started it twice before — once with my parents and once with my girlfriend at the time — but both times, we didn’t get through it. I don’t know whether my housemates will change their minds about eating meat or purchasing animal products in general, but I’m grateful that they were open to watching it and got through the whole thing.

There are two things that I hold incredibly dear that most people ignore or dismiss. One is the value of meditation and that there is something incredibly liberating to be discovered first-hand about the nature of awareness. The other is the perspective of seeing that all beings matter, regardless of attributes like their race, gender, sexual orientation, or species. (I wrote about this a year ago and recommended Dominion then, too.)

Dominion speaks powerfully for a cause that’s close to my heart, and I’d feel incredibly grateful if you gave it a watch.
