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

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.
