The Shopping Trolly Theory

Spotted a very thought provoking message today on how to determine the difference between a good and bad person:

“The Shopping Trolly Theory”

The shopping Trolly is the ultimate litmus test for whether a person is capable of self-governing.

To return the shopping trolly is an easy, convenient task and one which we all recognize as the correct, appropriate thing to do. To return the shopping trolly is objectively right. There are no situations other than dire emergencies in which a person is not able to return their trolly. Simultaneously, it is not illegal to abandon your shopping Trolly. Therefore the shopping Trolly presents itself as the apex example of whether a person will do what is right without being forced to do it.

No one will punish you for not returning the shopping trolly, no one will fine you or kill you for not returning the shopping trolly, you gain nothing by returning the shopping trolly. You must return the shopping trolly out of the goodness of your own heart. You must return the shopping trolly because it is the right thing to do; Because it is correct. A person who is unable to do this is no better than an animal, an absolute savage who can only be made to do what is right by threatening them with a law and the force that stands behind it.

The Shopping trolly is what determines whether a person is a good or bad member of society.

Don’t be a dick, return that trolly.
