UNLESS
My father has always been a skilled critic. He can easily point out problems with infrastructure, services and human behavior. He knows what the ideals should be. The challenge, for him and most of us, is to figure out how to get from A to B. My observation is that when we cannot have the things we think we should, then we become unhappy, frustrated, and even angry. Sadly, I believe my father is fairly unhappy. For myself, I believe there usually is a way to get from A to B, and if I can figure out “the puzzle” in the practical manner then that will give me a level of satisfaction and happiness. Like any good puzzle, it takes a lot of mental energy to consider all of the possibilities. Some puzzles are easier to solve than others. And while a plan might seem like a wonderful solution to a puzzle, one can never know if it is true until the plan is fully carried out.
I agree with DanH that the beach is getting more developed and unattractive. The community still has a long way to go in terms of litter and recycling. Bit by bit the town is getting more crowded. More people are riding motorcycles and I see fewer bicycles. I could find another place where things are more ecologically sound. However, I hope that my actions here can make a small difference. I bring my own grocery bag to the store, and now clerks ask if I need a bag. Previously they never asked. I am doing what I can to support the middle school garden project. If more people grow their own food, their carbon footprint will be significantly reduced.
