The right thing to do. The best thing. Is there really such thing as the right thing?
Be good to others. Be kind. The right thing to do.
Am I supposed to be kind to the borderline frotteur that goes out of his way to bump me when I'm all the way on the opposite side of the sidewalk? Or should I trip him and give him a snort of pepper spray and tower (all five feet, two inches of me) over his fat sprawling body, and yell in the name of all women and all victims everywhere that touching someone without consent and with the intent of intimidation and/or sexual arousal IS NOT OK? Is that the right thing to do, or is that just hollywood?
The right thing to do.
Help those in need.
If they want help.
But what if they don't want help because they don't know they have a need?
What if they don't want help because they think themselves little more than a ten-day-old shit on the sidewalk that not even a dog would eat because that's what they've been told all their lives?
Do we force them to accept charity in the hopes that they may one day realize their own self-worth? Is that the right thing to do?
The right thing to do.
Save a baby bird from drowning.
But is he drowning? Or is he supposed to be out here? Do I "save" him and take him to a wildlife rescue only to learn that fledglings of this species learn to swim before they learn to fly and that I fucked up his life by taking him away from his parents and traumatizing him with some bumpy ass car ride to however far away the nearest rescue is just so another scary creature can give him a bumpy ass car ride back home to where he may or may not be reunited with the adult birds he relies on to feed him until he can feed himself?
Or is he sick?
Do I chase him and try to catch him only to have him go deeper into the water where he will find certain death if he is indeed feeble and diseased?
Or do I walk away.
Let nature be nature.
Let baby be baby.
Live and let live.
Or live and let die and chew out Axl Rose as soon as Slash finishes his solo.
Is that the right thing to do?
This is my entry for the #monomad challenge, held daily in the Black and White Community.
Give it a try. It could very well be the right thing to do, for you.

Pepper spray. Always choose pepper spray.
carefully keeps most of Washington State as a barricade against getting pepper sprayed
Bear spray is better. Shoots farther. Almost to Everette from here. But it's just so big and clunky. I suppose I could make one of those badass tomb raider utility belts and wear it around.
My preferred form of bear spray is, well, very much frowned upon for use on people who are merely lewd and rude. Also, noise complaints.
I would think they would become even lewder and ruder once they got hit with the spray, ripping off their clothes and inventing new swear words.
My method might cause them leak the important red stuff that keeps them alive.
I leak the important red stuff on a regular basis and I'm still here.
They'll be fine.
Beautiful captures… he is sad looking.
Yes, a hard decision hehehe I would bump a bit harder back and stare him down. Than use the spray.
When do we save something… a good question one can give so many answers.
Have a wonderful day today 👋🏻😊

Thanks @brumest and @qurator team!!
Maybe grow spikey, then contact will be naturally stabby. Maybe tip the spikes with some Kombe for extra incentive.
What can I say? Your photos are always cherry. Now, who is this birdy featured here?
Growing spikes is a good idea. Having a skunky anal gland could be good, too. He'll be branded for days and everyone will be able to smell him coming.
I'm really not into killing anyone, personally. So the Kombe is out.
Thanks for complimenting my cherry!
Branded for days, what a nostril visage. Some people like the smell of a skunky anal gland, so that could potentially backfire.
Kombe is also a medicine; it's a dosage thing 😉. Maybe this approach? I was initiated recently.
Damn, you need a glass of water after that???🤣
Nope and that's what I actually sound like (no editing of this track at all). I figured you'd get a laugh out of it. 😂 I can't listen to it without laughing. This started with joking around and I was asked to do my impression of "eating peoples' faces off" and now am continuing to play around with sounds and whatever weird things I can come up with that are funny.
It's hilarious!!!! I seldom go on soundcloud anymore but I went on and gave you another follower. Listened to it again and laughed AGAIN. Feel free to listen to my obscurities if you want, no pressure if you don't.
Awww, thanks! I'll take a listen. I'm having some fun playing around with audio.
