yes, a lot of my immoral actions are because it’s hard or against the grain to be more moral (e.g. being a strict vegan even when traveling or not easily accommodated, or using cars when technically I could bicycle, but on dangerous roads and long distances).
I have definitely spent most of my adult life going against the grain in extreme ways to be a “better” person, but I have been left victimized and disabled for it, so I’m trying to learn to be more moderate and not take big social problems as entirely my personal responsibility. Obviously it’s not one extreme or the other, it’s an interplay between personal and social / structural.
Yeah I do plenty of shit I know is a problem. Most of it just passively from living in a consumerist society.
