More useful than opinion

there is thinking and there is doing...

I love Jono’s work and enjoy it every time he publishes. The recent one struck a cord. Though the drawing points out that our attribution of something could be far simpler than we presume, the underlying problem in the scene above is not about who made the mess but who will pick it up.

It is far more important on who will pick up the mess and clean it up than who created it. If that is the case, the doing (picking up) is way more utility than the thinking (who did this?)

I see this happen every day I am out walking. It bothers me to see the litter and the bottles and the packaging that are strewn by the side of the roads and in the bushes. I am also part of the guilty party who does the thinking than the doing. Hats off to the volunteers who bag these from the side of the roads and from the bushes and gulleys a couple of times a year. They are the true (action) heroes.
