Target, the popular department store, is a very popular destination for many people to visit. It is the place for many to shop for a certain item or to get a gift for someone else. But, when it comes to buying a gift it is important to think about the person who you would like to give the item. We must also remember that the people we give the item to, as well as the people who would like to receive the item, should both be the same.
Target has a very particular set of values. There is a core set of values: those that are set by the people who set the values, and the people who set the values are not necessarily the same as the people who actually live by the values. Target is the place where the people who live by the values are people who set the values. I often hear people say, “I’m not giving to Target so I don’t have to live by those values.
There’s a great way to illustrate this idea. Imagine you meet a person you really like. It’s not because you really like them, it’s because they have your values. I’ve encountered this with really great people many times, and they don’t like me because my values are different from theirs. They like me because I have their values.
The idea here is that we are all living in our own personal target-dying light. We each have a point in our own personal target-dying light. I could sit here and tell you that I have a point in my personal target-dying light as a vegan. This obviously works because I will find people who will agree with me. However, I can also sit here and tell you that I have a point in my personal target-dying light as a vegetarian.
And here is where the truth gets in the way. We are all living in our own personal target-dying light, all of us, so we can’t all agree on everything. Some of us have a point in their target-dying light as a vegetarian. Others of us have a point in their target-dying light as a vegan. Some of us have a point in their target-dying light as a vegetarian, a vegan, or a meat-eater.
I think its time to start talking about this target-dying light thing. And I say this as a man who’s never been to a meat-eating restaurant. I guess I could say I have a vegan point in their target-dying light as a meat-eater. But if I start talking about my personal target-dying light, I will probably lose my meat-eater point in my own target-dying light.
Now that’s the kind of meat-eater that I am. I am very happy to have a point in my own target-dying light as a meat-eater. But the very fact that I am able to have a point in that light at all is proof that I am also a meat-eater.
I don’t eat meat, but I think I’m an awesome meat eater. If I eat beef, I make a point of saying “yeah, I know, I eat steak.” If I eat chicken, I make a point of saying “yeah, I’m a chicken eater.” If I eat pork, I make a point of saying “yeah, I’m a pork eater.
Meat is a funny thing. People think that it is a food that is bad, when in fact it is a food that is good. In our own case, we have a point in our light where meat is bad. But for us meat is good. We find it delicious and we tend to make a point of eating it on all kinds of occasions. It’s a very simple matter of choosing the right meat, since we are all meat eaters.
The thing is, people tend to make the same mistake and make the same mistake again and again. While it’s fun to joke about eating pork and chicken and pretending they are actually bad foods, it’s much more interesting to talk about the reasons why the food we choose is good or bad. Eating meat is a good thing because it helps us survive. Eating meat is bad because it makes us sick. Eating meat is good because it helps us feel alive.
