Overheard the conversation of 2 office cleaners, "This toilet very dirty one, always got urine spilled all over the place." One of the cleaner proceed to use some toilet paper to clean away the spilled urine.
I think what we do when no one is watching truly defines who we are. It may be easy to get away with inconsiderate behaviors, we can fool the world but we cannot fool ourselves. There is an audit mechanism inside us and it is called conscience, it will tell us what we did right or wrong. When one leaves a mess and expects another person to clean up for him/ her, it is a very irresponsible behavior.
If everyone can do their part to be considerate and responsible, clean up our own mess and not let others suffer because of them, then we are definitely going to see a better world.
One example is the responsibility of every household to ensure there is no stagnant water lying around, that could be breeding grounds for mosquitoes. We cannot have the "my household doesn't have pregnant ladies so I don't care" mindset, because our actions affect the others. We just need a few households to ignore their responsibilities and start breeding more mosquitoes, then the whole situation will get out of hand.
Everyone has a part to play and the power of change lies in each and every one of us.
