Being Somebody
“I always wondered why somebody doesn’t do something about that. Then I realized I was somebody.” By Lily Tomlin
“How many times have we walked past a piece of litter on the ground, cursing whoever was so thoughtless as to drop it and wondering when someone would come by to clean it up?
It wouldn’t be hard for us to bend over and pick up that litter, then drop it in the nearest waste bin. Often, though, we don’t because we think it’s someone else’s responsibility. Maybe it is, in an official way, but if each of us picked up just one piece of litter, the streets would be clean in no time.” Linda Picone
When I can, I won’t wait for somebody else to be responsible for addressing a problem. I’ll take responsibility myself.
