My day was good. It was really productive. And one thing I really love doing is running. Running outdoors especially. Where the air is fresh, and where your vision isn't just monotonous on a focused spot. You are actually able to move forward against the wind or against resistance. I love it so much.
Well, it looked as if it was going to pour, so I decided to change/convert my jog to a run incase it rained. So my speed was increased. The temperature of the atmosphere was amazing, it was cooling, and it was cloudy and the air smelled so gooooooooooood together with my newly downloaded music. Running felt so good today!
During my last round of the run, my field of vision was the same except it was becoming blurred by...
SMOKE!
Open burning smack right infront of my face by one of my neighbours. Right there, the house on my right, I saw smoke, I saw fire, I could smell it even and feel it on my skin, Particles of ash. I increased my speed to avoid it and held my breath. I really do hate open burning. So, so, so, so much. Yes, I know it's going to pour and the rain will wash away whatever smell bla, bla, bla but that still isn't an excuse to allow yourself to burn yo shit openly.
It's so selfish. It's open, there are people around you and your freaking particles will seep through areas and it will affect your neighbours and the people around. Think before you act. What more! It totally spoils the pleasent atmosphere we do not get when it's hot and sunny and humid and stuff.
Sooo many other ways to dispose your rubbish, your dried leaves your whatever you're burning. I know it's the easy way out, but it won't be an easy way out once we can't breathe due to your contribution to painting the air with dirt. It sucks having to hold your breath, it sucks doing your daily activities with the smell of smoke rubbing you on the face.
Writing this post won't solve anything. I know. But I just want to rant and vent about this issue.
But it's like they know.. they know it isn't good. Well it keeps the flies and mosquitos away. But.. it's distraction. Social distraction.

I just find it really inconsiderate and rude.
To the environment and to the people around you as well.
And your poor pets as well.
Ugh!
I feel the same way
