Am I Doing Bad?

This spring, I may have done something bad again.

I suppose I should have known better, but I’ve done the same thing before with no visible repercussions. They¹ say intent to do wrong is part of how the bad doer should be chided, or in some places punished.

I plead ignorance. However, on Perry Mason, I learned ignorance of the law is no excuse. I still plead lack of knowledge caused me to do the deed in the past and again this year. But does ignorance apply to laws of nature. Experience like missing a rung on a ladder confirm the law of gravity, but what about unexperienced laws.

Many have told me directly or indirectly that what I was doing was beneficial to mankind and nature.

Now I feel what the bovines would feel about producing methane gas if they had feelings, and who is to say that they don’t have feelings. They might but are just unaware of the impact they are allegedly² having on our environment.

I just read an article mentioning that food waste and unsold food being put into landfills is producing large amounts of methane gas.

So, if this is true, my garden compost pile must also be contributing to the problem. But if I stop composting and put the food scraps into the landfill …

Is it worth staying up nights with perspiring worry about being this kind of bad?

What will the long-term consequences be if I just eat peelings, stalks, seeds, and leaves of the non-meat food I consume and produce methane in the mode of the bovines?

Perhaps I can form a committee to decide who should be on a committee to decide where to lay fault.
