RE: The Hypocrisy of Flying, Barbecuing, and Everything Else - Ecotrain's Question of the Week

in #ecotrain5 years ago

You always make sense, and not only that, you write in a logical, clear and well thought out way that i can never manage. I have post envy right now. I'm glad I didn't read yours first or I wouldn't have written! I totally agree - the haters don't make sense, because it doesn't matter in the broader scheme of things. Stop attacking people in general is probably the way to go, and just focus on what you can do personally. Hate never got us anywhere - self reflection, education and deep thinking is a much better way to go. 'They're hypocrites, end of' simply doesn't fly with me. Pun intended.

Awww, thanks for your kind words. And don't worry about post envy. Your posts are also full of deep thought, which you manage to explain rationally, even in a way that's readable and entertaining. So it's all good. And yes, I agree that attacking people for any reason is super weak, especially if whoever does it won't even do as much. The Greta example illustrates it perfectly: Some random dude criticizes her supposedly high-footprint yacht. To the question what he has done for the climate in comparison, the answer is something like "oh, but I'm not an eco-warrior." Exactly!
