  • It should be noted, none of this is about “expectation”, because none of this is about us as onlookers, and it’s only about what the person doing the eating feels is right. But, my personal take?

    I would (and actually have myself, having been an orthodox Christian when I was growing up, during a yearly religious 2 week fast of meat products and oils) absolutely done the same thing.

    It’s not about “suppressing your belief in order to not be rude”. I think that would be bad, and sad.

    It’s about “kindness being a more important value than religion”. If you’re with the person in the supermarket, guide them and teach them. If you’re in front of a prepared, emotionally invested meal, from someone you care about, already making their best effort… Be kind.

    Telling a kid “your music is not very good” when they’re just starting out and trying their best, is not good. No matter how sincerely one believes in “Good Music”, or “Good Art”, or even “Honesty” or “Truth”.

    I’m with you on the call to action, but huge disclaimer:

    This specific Communist Party of Greece (ΚΚΕ) of ours, has a literally fascist political plan as its stated goal (amass power, suppress opposition through all means available, and pinky promise to give that power back afterwards through The Revolution that will happen after we amass all the power and suppress all opposition), and is painfully nationalistic, and politically conservative.
