I finally figured it out!
So, there's this path where I go for walks with my dog. And some weeks ago I started noticing painted stones. Just a handful along the path, at first.
But then the amount grew.
And then they started having text on them, saying "do not move or take away". Now, naturally, because I am the rebel (cough, cough, arsehole, cough) that I am, my first instinct was to replace them. (I resisted that and am very proud of it.)
The amount of stones grew, and suddenly there were tiny windows mounted to tree stumps and such.
And I got angry. Like, really pissed off.
But I didn't know why!
Was I just the miserable b*tch some people would definitely call me?
No!
When I went there again today, I finally realized, why they make so angry.
It's not just the signs, telling everyone to not touch. It's not just the (most likely) chinese toxic paint being placed in one of the very few (!!!) places we still have nature here. It's not just the amount of stones. It's not just that someone feels like nature needs tp be "decorated" (IT DOES NOT!! And if you feelmlike it, decorate yo r own place, your home!).
It's the fact, that this was the only place easily reachable for me where I did not have to put up with human made distraction (i.e. bright colours).
It was a place where my mind could calm down because there was only the natural colors and noises and nothing popped up unexpectedly, demanding my attention.
That is why I'm angry. Someone went ahead and took away my place of calm, to make it exactly as loud as everywhere else.
Of course I could just stay in my room for having a calm space. But the entire world is full of bright colours and stuff human made. Why did I have to lose the only place that wasn't because someone felt this place needed "decoration"???
Now, what do I do? I don't know! And that's the part that breaks me.
Do I call police and ask them to have a look (because littering is a crime and the place is a protected nature area)? Do I make a facebook account and write the person my problem? Do I accept it? Do I shush and cry for myself?
I don't know.
