Is it bad that I think like that all the time? I still do the right thing, but I'm worried that one day I'll just see no change and get into the "fuck it" mindset.
In actual civilised countries, people do think like that, teach their kids to think like that, and call out people who don't respect their environment.
It's a societal problem at your end probably
When I was young kids would actually get mad if someone wasn't being a tidy kiwi. It was so ingrained in us to not litter and pick up litter. I remember seeing a young girl scolding an adult for throwing his cigarette on the ground.
This is why you need to focus on local change as the goal. By local I mean right there and then. You pick up some trash or you prevent your own from going on the ground, the change is right there in front of you: that section of ground, at that time, is clean.
If you do the small things with big changes in mind as the reason, it’s a recipe for exactly the kind of burnout you’re referring to.
There is change. It’s just small. But it’s 100% real and right there in front of you and it reliably follows from your action.
True. I teach my son that, too.
Be the change you want to see in the world
And fuck everyone else
I'm holding on hard.
