In this column the author takes an excerpt from his book, "Making Global Sense," to propose that a global sense of life unifies spirituality and politics in a freedom-loving way that honors both conscience and reason.

On my mind a lot lately has been the concept of idealism. It’s a trait of mine; I realize that. Many people have told me that I seem to have a vision for the way the world “should be.”

I think that is probably the reason why I was able to do something as radical as going vegan when I don’t know a single vegan and have negative responses from my own family for doing so.
