It’s okay. It sounds like you’re at least working on doing better. You have a conscience which most people lack

Plants aren't sentient. It has no control over what it does any more than you having control over your blood clotting to heal a wound.

Plants are actually incredibly complex and can in fact control how they respond to stimuli. The focus on an animal-type sentience by vegans is an out to avoid having to consider the plant experience. Vegans need plants to be NPCs to avoid an ego crisis, and nothing will make you as intellectually dishonest as the ego.

Also, you don't have free will. Your experience of consciousness is an illusion designed to make you a succesful mobile living organism.
