kind of right

so this woman across me pulled out something from her bag, tore the wrapper, ate the mini-bun inside then threw the wrapper to the floor.

eh?

i haven't recovered from the first and then she did it a second time!

ugh!

i wanted to call her out!

just a couple of weeks ago, i saw this group posting "Proud to be a drug free household" stickers on gates and fences.  was i shocked when one wearing a light blue shirt with the word 'PULIS' emblazoned on the back threw the paper he peeled from the sticky part on the street.

me:  'sir, you're littering.  to think you're a policeman.'

he mumbled something then pointed to the oncoming barangay vehicle.  he said barangay personnel will be picking up the litter.

oh?  why not not litter at all and save unnecessary effort?

anyway, i was looking at the woman and could not get myself to tell her off.  she looked tired and problematic and stressed and harassed.  i was thinking if i could not lighten her load i better not add to it.

i therefore just kept quiet.

i'm not really sure that's the right thing to do.  i do know, however, that it's the kind thing to do.
