Well, say you leave the tap running while you brush your teeth, leave a light on when you go out or you drop a piece of litter and can't be bothered to pick it up. You know that all those things are wrong, but so what? “What difference can it possibly make？” you say to yourself. “There are millions of people in the world and I'm just me. How can it matter if I leave one little tap running, one little light on or leave a little piece of litter on the road? And anyway, no one will know.” Of course, it wouldn't matter if there were just a few people in the world. But just think of all the millions of people saying to themselves: “It doesn't matter. It's just me. And, anyway, no one knows.” Millions of gallons of water would be wasted; millions of lights would be left on; millions of pieces of litter would be dropped. And all of this would be very harmful. Para 1 “Just-me-ism” Examples Leaving the tap 1. while you brush your teeth Leaving a light 2. when you go out. dropping litter and not being bothered to 3.
