Being Considerate

Let's say that you think that it is ALLLLL a HOAX! Smoking is really GOOD for you. Not a health hazard but a boon to good health. You really believe that. But that still doesn't give you the right to smoke in the presence of others who don't share your beliefs. It harms them physically [at least in their minds] and makes them uncomfortable.  

CONSIDERATION!

Women walk into frum neighborhoods halfway [or more] undressed. Free country. You can dress or undress as you wish. But where is the consideration for the feelings of the many people who you are hurting and making uncomfortable?   

CONSIDERATION!

I see people walking around w/o  a mask. They don't believe in Coronavirus or at least that masks will prevent the spread. Their right and privilege [based on no knowledge, no data and no proof]. But there are many others who don't share their belief [maybe like the over half a million who have died and the many many millions who have gotten sick]. So BASIC CONSIDERATION mandates that they wear a mask in public. But they don't. They don't because they don't understand and b/c they don't understand they don't care. THAT is a disease also.

These are 3 paradigms but the examples are legion.
