This book is a sensitive exploration into the reasons millions of individuals have sought to live as vegetarians. Although many people initially embark upon vegetarian lifestyles to improve their health, inevitably, all soon recognize that they are being guided to follow a higher path—the path of compassion for all beings.

The simple aphorisms and illustrations within this book express the beliefs that grow within the soul of a vegetarian. These include beliefs of compassion, concern, pity, empathy, humility, and love. Vegetarians recognize that all beings cherish life. Accordingly, they seek to help all beings, as humble as their meager existences might seem, to live their lives to the fullest.
