I live right next to a forest and like many people living like this, I noticed that there is a lot of trash in it. I saw rubbish in a forest since I can remember.  I'm not saying that on my way home I'm walking on a path made of garbage, but it shouldn't appear in a forest at all. It is awful how people treat woods. They think that it is a free garbage dump and they are able to leave any trash there (even old fridges or tires). I think that the only reason why they do it is because they don't want to pay for garbage collection.  Instead, they prefer to pollute. They probably think that because they don't live there it isn't their problem. It bothers not only people but all living organisms. Garbage poison the soil and if animals eat it it can also poison them. I find littering and people who do it very annoying and I support all the fines related to it. 

  I think that we all observed how not all people wear their masks properly. They usually wear, and I am talking here about closed spaces like shops, museums or public transport, them below noses or not at all.      We all know about the virus and if we want it to stop spreading we really should stick to the rules. So why people are not properly wearing their masks? Maybe for some masks area stupid idea in general so that's why they refuse to wear them. Others may be "bored" by them and simply had enough. I think that people in our society also thinks that "if not everybody wears them why should I". And this thinking only leads to an infinite circle of people not wearing their masks. I think that it shouldn't be such a problem. We all should simply wear them and don't complain because they are only helping us.

Lately, when I met my friend she told me a story about her way to school the other day. She highlighted the fact that when she was running for a leaving underground somebody held the door for her.  When she was telling me about it she sounded positively surprised and so was I. I think that our surprise shows general assumptions that people have about other people. We usually think that they are mean, unwilling to help and think only about themselves. There is an obvious distance that we have for others (it isn't necessarily a bad thing they are strangers after all). We are simply surprised by any act of kindness from people that we don't know. We expect it only in return for our kindness towards them. It is upsetting that we feel that way and we let it affect our view of others. I think that it can somehow block our ability to meet new people. So why are we biased like that?
