I guess the point I was trying to make is that I'd love to be a vegetarian, but I struggle with the temptation to eat meat. Trying to give up meat is like trying to give up smoking (well maybe not that bad).
Is anyone else struggling to be a veggie? Or is anyone struggling to stay a veggie? For someone like me who loves the taste of meat and enjoys smoking giving these vices up is difficult.
I think a spiritual life is built up slowly through discipline and perseverence and good will. When it collapses on you like mine did (for all sorts of reasons) it is a real challenge to build it back up again.
