I mean, you are not wrong. In a way easy way is always the lazy way - doesn't mean it is wrong. It can be daunting. Some people will take the fast, but hard way. Some people will take the longer/ but easy. If you end up in same destination, it's a win in the end.

I guess you meant to say fast but easy, or longer but hard, right?

I meant fast as in complete veganism overnight (hard) over slow, gradual change to eventually get to complete veganism (easier).

It's not the usual way the phrase goes I guess, or I just worded it badly

Aaaah ok ye now I get it.

I guess ultimately the end process is what's important, there I agree with you. However, with ethical issues, or matters of principle, you could argue time is of the essence.

For example, if the Western world had taken 30 more years in embracing the importance of LGTBIQ+ rights, we would be now at the same place as the likes of Russia or Saudi Arabia, which is a place we feel good about not being.

So in a way yes, the end result is what matters, but in the meantime it does kinda sucks to live in a society that normalizes something that will undoubtedly be considered morally wrong and unethical in the future

Totally! My point was that it's better slow than not at all. But obviously the faster the better.

Agreed!
