I wish people understood the concept of each and every one of us having an inner world as rich as each others.

The way we look at each other like we don't all have the same drives is wild. Granted the problem, if any, comes in the pursuit of how we fulfil these drives but the profound feeling of understanding that every person you encounter has a life complex, full and real as your own, complete with their own ambitions, friends, routines, and worries equally as meaningful as yours, just feels like a basic approach right?

Maybe then we'd have a deeper appreciation for the complexity of the human experience instead of being overbearing and ostracising

Smartly and well said. The same as it is for heartbreak, suffering and loss. It doesn't make us unique or special, it makes us human. Maybe true empathy is realizing this... We are on a human level together, not ostracising ourselves or others on a pedestal or a gutter level. ✨

It should be a basic approach. When we meet things we don't understand fully we should try be as open and curious to understand as good as goes.

Btw, did I tell I had samosas at the dinner tonight?

I think people in this day and age are SO self focused that they act like others don't even EXIST besides them and their friends, partner, kids etc.
It's very sad but very worrisome because we are supposed to get BETTER emotionally as humanity progresses, not worse. It's really no wonder people say here, or wherever, they can't stand people. 😟

@Coralmist It's true though, this is how I see most people as well. The self absorbed just seems to get worse

@Coralmist you know, as much as I appreciate each generation evolving, I do think in some regard we're shifting to a culture that's becoming more self involved just differently to the generations prior. "Protecting my peace" and "asserting my boundaries" are reasons being used to avoid accountability. Prior generations have a more "Muh free speech" approach, but it has the same energy.

That's why we refer to those people as selfish. They not only don't take the other into account, but they fail to take the individuals loved ones into account.
Example: I really hated a coworker one time, but then it hit me, why should I spend so much energy hating this guy, when clearly he has children, parents, siblings, friends and wife who love him. I was literally outnumbered in the hate department, so I came to the conclusion that I shouldn't hate that guy anymore. It was simply a clash of personalities on my part, and that was something I had to work on.

That's not how life works, for it would be an assumption and not appreciation.

If one becomes overbearing on others, it means the person is possessive and leading life by hopping on to other.

If a person is ostracising others it means the person is ostracising oneself too from others.

One must not get into the complexity of other for it would make them lose their life and individuality.
