    I have always found the concept of littering bizzare. And not from a “do what is right” perspective.

    “Do you not understand that it will be there basically your entire life, unless someone picks it up!? Every time you walk by, you will see that wrapper you just threw on the ground for months and years. You have pockets!”

      Those people don’t even care about that. If it massed up in a pile outside their house, but not in an area they used, they’d walk right past it every morning. Plus (to them, anyway), that wrapper won’t be there, because of wind/rain/wildlife. It’s out of sight, out of mind for them, and fuck anyone who has it end up in their area.

      I think that since you care about cleanliness of your environment you have trouble wrapping your head around some people not caring at all about that.

      Some people don’t even notice garbage on the ground. I have seen a soon to be engineer throwing their trash out of the window like a century ago. He didn’t even notice the trash in the street below even though he was walking through it everyday.

      It’s not about morality it’s about not giving a fuck to something so hard you don’t even notice it.

      Also some people have a life so hard it’s just not possible for them to care about it. When it comes to survival I don’t blame people for not being able to care. If your concern is your next meal throwing your trash properly seems irrelevant.

        That’s stupid. Actively fucking over your environment for very little extra effort on your own part is somehow reasonable if you’re worried about eating?

          It’s way deeper than that. Its hard for someone who doesn’t live their life suffering in agony every day to understand. I’m not saying you need to understand but be happy if your lucky enough to not be going through that. Apathy and despair is all some people know. It’s a cry for help that in this age will probably never get answered.

          I know some people with the born dead, fuck it , throw the trash at the can not in it mentality and their life is not good.

          Now if there’s a person who has never had a bad day in their life that they didn’t cause themselves and they go around doing some dumb shit like that they can get fucked
