TO THE EDITOR August 19, 2020. Ocean Grove:
A new topic for debate, discord, marvel or disdain…I went fishing this morning in OG and found over a dozen beer cans under and around a lifeguard stand. As I approached I felt even more just buried lightly under the sand, and those cans in particular were twisted open, exposing extremely sharp aluminum edges tactically positioned to mangle one’s feet, possibly designed to injure those of the lifeguards.
Also this summer I have found empty vodka bottles lying on the sand within 100 feet of the garbage cans.
So my question is, what compels people to do such things? Were they raised by wolves? Or are they simply mean- spirited and are proud of causing possible injury to strangers?
I would love to have a better understanding of human nature.
I’m just so worried that I’m focusing on the wrong goals such as helping better society and the environment.
