Others are not a distraction from our spiritual path - they are companions with us on the path. We are all journeying together toward the light.
Woe to those who distract others from the way - and to those who end the journey for another, they will have to carry this burden. Before I went vegan, I was responsible for the suffering and death of many others. I will carry this responsibility the rest of my days.
End the suffering of others for which you are responsible.
May all beings know peace!
