The Japanese have this term “intoku (陰徳)” which roughly translates to good deeds done in secret. What are some examples of intoku in your own life? Doesn’t matter even if it’s something minor like picking up trash.
I put the toilet seat and lid down.
I park as far away as possible from the store (always to find someone parked right beside me upon return), and will grab a stray shopping cart if there’s one.
I live at a beach. I walk it at first light and p/u trash.I don’t get your first two, what does putting the toilet lid down achieve ? and why park specifically far away from the store ? is it so that other people get to park closer ? so you can get some exercise ?
I wonder if in a parking lot some people like to park next to an already parked car because it helps them get in between the lines on the first try. So you might be helping someone even though you didn’t know it!
But I would personally at least put a car’s gap away to eliminate the possibility of damage from door-opening…
But that defeats the purpose of using a neighboring car to help you get between the lines on the first try. It’s a selfish move, but that’s my guess why they do it
I don’t understand why they’d have to be adjacent; it’s not like we suddenly go blind just because there’s 1 car’s distance between us and our target, haha.
Because you can’t see through the car door to see where the lines are on the ground
Oh. I thought we were talking about being aligned so you’re not sticking out in depth on one side or the other, a.k.a. lining up your side mirrors.
I’ll look at it that way from hereon in…
