I disagree. Plucking the leaf off of a tree for no reason is immoral. (Not as bad as a lot of things, but immoral on an absolute scale.)

- djsumdog 6y agoI pull off pine needles when I walk in the forest so I can crush them and put them up to my nose and smell the fresh pine. Would you consider that immoral?
- earthboundkid 6y agoIf you have a reason, it’s probably fine.

- coldtea 6y agoImmoral implies some moral issue at stake. What exactly is the moral issue? Who is the moral agent that is suffering? Do autumn leaves falling off of the trees constitute suffering or self-inflicted harm too? (Never the mind that morality is culturally constructed, and there's no agreed upon universal one, not even for things like murder, theft, or incest).
