i fully believe appreciation is the most important quality/characteristic/trait any of us can possess. good mental health starts with our ability to see value in places where other people aren't even looking. now through the end of the year, i'm challenging myself to find something new to appreciate every week.
have you ever thought about what our world would look like without garbage cans?
It didn't occur to me until recently, which is weird because i've only used garbage cans multiple times a day for decades. better late than never.
without garbage cans (trash cans, waste buckets, dumpsters etc...) our world would be countless piles of leaky, rotting, disease breeding, vermin huts.
they improve our lives so much, and they are unabashedly low tech. if we did a cost benefit analysis of everyday objects, the humble trash can would be near the top of the list.
even if it's a garbage can i'm not using, i still appreciate that it keeps neighborhoods clean for others.
in a perfect world, maybe we wouldn't need so many of them.
this world isn't perfect, so i'm glad we have trash cans.
and I appreciate the people who use them.
