One of the things I did to steel my will was to to think about the parents and the dog owners when I picked up other people's poop. However, thinking along those lines, I ended up connecting the idea that babies and dogs do not have free will, and I noticed that connection bubble to the surface when I saw homeless encampments. It colored the already dismal sight with a tinge of existential horror.
So, I'm not so sure that the baby/dog to encampment dweller connection makes the most appropriate vehicle for mentally dealing with the poop. Or, maybe, it is the right vehicle. I really don't know.

- jerry1979 5y agoHow would I know if anyone has free will or not? When I rationalize my poop scooping duties by juxtaposing them with the duties of parents and dog owners, I end up placing the babies, dogs, and adult poopers in the same category. I don't know if that categorization actually reflects reality, and therefore I can't tell if that kind of rationalization will actually help me react to the poop in a constructive way.

- maccam94 5y agoHow free is their will? Can they choose not to poop? Can they choose to use a toilet when they have to poop? Can they choose to have all of the prerequisites to have their own toilet to poop in? (a stable location to live, an income stream to pay for it, freedom from addiction or mental illness that would disrupt their ability to generate income...)
