You do not exist in a vaccuum. Comprende?

| I am thoroughly shocked at the lack of understanding some people have in regards to the impact of their own actions. You can toss a pebble in a pond and watch the ripples flow out in all directions, and travel on and on... Why do people not understand that virtually any action you take can cause ripples to affect other people and places.
One stupid action, regardless of how small, can cause a chain of reactions which can eventually have a major impact. Maybe it only happens in a way that you'll notice 1 in 10 times, maybe 1 in 100 or 10,000... but it does happen. To think that what you do has no bearing on anyone but yourself is patently stupid. A simple small trinket taken for example can set a chain of events into motion that you just can't stop.
You take a small item as a souvenir, no big deal ? Another person knows about it and decides they should have a souvenir too, and so on and so on until a place is stripped bare. Or You take your trinket and tell someone, who tells someone, who writes it on the web somewhere, it gets read by the owner of the place or law enforcement and now you and anybody like you is branded a thief because of your one small selfish act that you thought insignificant. Now the next urban explorer that happens to get caught will have his life impacted by the image you caused to prevail. The cop now thinks all urban explorers are thieves, so when he catches one, he will treat them as such.
Just because it doesn't hit you like a brick in the face, does not mean it has no impact. It means you haven't looked farther than your own nose...

This leads into my thoughts that the serious explorers need to take a hard line on this stuff.
I personally will not even graf in drains. This is a harder line stance than I have had in the past but the concusion is inescapable.
We all gotta be squecky clean if we are going to sustain this hobby or not be assumed to be criminals by the public.

Missed the point so badly, he doesn't even know there is a point...

Whatever. The whole topic is a joke.

Aye
We all had ostriches. My dad had an ostrich farm! I remember one day someone came in and said the high altitude bombing of Kosovo had been a limited success, so we all went out and celebrated… by killing an ostrich and boiling it in kiwi fruit. |
