To be, or
not to be…vegan; that is the question. This is not a soliloquy by William
Shakespeare, but rather a parody from the life of my teen son. He wants to
become vegan for the health of it. An attempt was made a few months ago, to
live this lifestyle, but my son was met with temptations.
The next attempt
at the vegan lifestyle, my son gathered recipes, but was again tempted. This
time it was in the form of a dream. He called to give me an update, “I had a
dream…”
I cut him
off mid-sentence, “Let me guess, you had a dream about beef.”
“Something
like that.”
“Were there,
seven lean cows and seven fat cows?”
“Huh?”
“It’s a Bible
reference,” I said. Pharaoh dreamed about seven lean cows and seven fat cows.”
“Anyway…I
dreamed I was at a sandwich shop and had a sandwich with bacon and pepperoni.
Then it turned into a mirage.”
There was a
pregnant pause. I spoke first. “Are you waiting for me to interpret your dream?”
“Could you?”
“Well, it sounds
to me like maybe you went to bed hungry.”
I’m no dream
interpreter, however, I reminded my son of a thought I’ve heard. When faced
with temptations, you have to renew your thinking.
To be or not
to be…tempted. How do you handle temptations?
