It's a lot easier when you start considering others' needs, and not only your "tastes", "habits", "traditions", and you educate yourself and learn something new. Living non-violently is not scary.
Ahimsa. Cause no harm to anyone. Plus also always do good.
The awesome thing is that humans are adaptable.
Your tastes, habits, Traditions can change.
Especially when you learn new information that you didn't previously know that helps you form new opinions, tastes, preferences, habits, and new Traditions.
What you LOVE and think and believe you can't live! without today, you can learn, not only to live without, but to even wonder how you liked it in the first place!
Then you can ask yourself, "How did I ever eat or wear dead animals flesh and skin, or entertain myself through the enslavement, and suffering, and murder of innocent creatures, precious animals? Zoos, aquariums, animal testing [which includes makeup, shampoo and conditioner], many other kinds of cleaning supplies, candles, fur, feathers, leather, suede, etc. {the list is almost endless π}
