I had to buy something yesterday. Before you run off and judge me, I would like to let you know it was an academic purchase. I bought the books for this class. Maybe I could have just looked for them in the library, or searched the internet for used copies, but I decided to rent new copies from the bookstore and purchase one of the books for good (I really want to read all of Leopold and any chance transcendentalism becomes a major?)
But then I did something good. I hiked all the way back to my dorm, even though I was already at Colorado Coffee, just to get my coffee cup. And it was wicked freezing out. Thats Masspeak for cold. Go Sox.
So I created some trash when I gathered those books, but then I avoided some by making my coffee trip longer. Do these examples of good vs. evil balance each other out? And what about the suffering I went through to walk around more in the cold? Was it worth the pleasure of not wasting a cup? Leave your ethical and witty remarks.
