It is a natural urging of the soul and it feels rght. When we challenge that natural balance, we feel unsatisfied and agitated, much the same as a fish out of water. But when we cooperate and surrender our ego to this natural order of things we awaken to the understanding that each and every one of us is an integral part of a fantastic scheme. We become encouraged, we feel worthy, and so we try to make a difference. Some people call it "living". Sadly though, many people never really experience what "living" is all about, because they are so busy finding fault. Such people tend to think the world revolves around their petty experiences and so they never truly see things as they are and miss countless opportunities. Unlike them, we need to see the world through the eyes of Mother Nature and appreciate every little facet of her glory. It begins wth valuing the difference. Seeking to first understand before being understood and knowing that every part of her makeup has its place. Oh, the beauty of individuality. What a lovely mosaic the world is. *- The Editor* **International Vegetarian Union News** Editor: Paul Turner - This email address is being protected from spambots.

Il materiale pubblicato non riflette necessariamente le opinioni del curatore o le linee di condotta dell' International Vegetarian Union. A note on this archive. The history section of this website is drawn from a body of legacy content originally compiled by John Davis, former manager of the International Vegetarian Union. It represents his curation of historical material, and in places includes passages written by him directly. Over the years, the IVU website has migrated between several different hosting servers. In the course of these migrations, a number of PDF files were unfortunately lost, and **some links to PDF documents may no longer function**. Where this is the case, we have chosen to leave the original link text in place, as it may itself carry information of historical value. - Hits: 968 ## Schema ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://ivu.org/history-of-ivu/hv-general-news-magazine.html?view=article&id=6059:italian-news-oct2000-index&catid=330","url":"https://ivu.org/history-of-ivu/hv-general-news-magazine.html?view=article&id=6059:italian-news-oct2000-index&catid=330","name":"IVU News - Ottobre 2000","inLanguage":"en","isPartOf":[{"@id":"https://ivu.org/history-of-ivu.html#archive"},{"@id":"https://ivu.org/history-of-ivu/hv-general-news-magazine.html"}],"publisher":{"@id":"https://ivu.org/#organization"},"description":"IVU News Ottobre 2000 Novajxleteroj - Boletines - Nyhetsbrev - Boletins - Bulletins - Rundschreiben - Buletine periodice - Novosti In questo numero Some items in this issue were already on the IVU…"}]} ``` ```json { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "BreadcrumbList", "itemListElement": [ { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 1, "name": "Home", "item": "https://ivu.org" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 2, "name": "History of IVU", "item": "https://ivu.org/history-of-ivu.html" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 3, "name": "History of the Vegetarian Societies", "item": "https://ivu.org/history-of-ivu.html?view=category&id=46" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 4, "name": "italian", "item": "https://ivu.org/history-of-ivu.html?view=category&id=298" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 5, "name": "news", "item": "https://ivu.org/history-of-ivu.html?view=category&id=315" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 6, "name": "oct2000", "item": "https://ivu.org/history-of-ivu.html?view=category&id=330" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 7, "name": "IVU News - Ottobre 2000", "item": "https://ivu.org/history-of-ivu.html" } ] } ``` ```json { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Article", "mainEntityOfPage": { "@type": "WebPage", "@id": "https://ivu.org/history-of-ivu.html" }, "headline": "IVU News - Ottobre 2000", "description": "IVU News - Ottobre 2000: IVU News Ottobre 2000 Novajxleteroj - Boletines - Nyhetsbrev - Boletins - Bulletins - Rundschreiben - Buletine periodice - Novosti In questo numero Some items in this issue were already on the IVU website, and are linked.
