People Don't Care Unless It's Their Interest

I remember the time I have gone through the stuff and suffering of the life. And I used to think how come other people are not paying attention to what I am going through. How come I am so invisible and how come that is something I am supposed to deal with.

It took a lot of time for me to understand that world does not care. The people does not care. What they do care is something that they have self interest into.

So how does it work? Let's discuss.

People Are Guided by Self Interest


Do you care in USA if the random guy from cycle falls down in Australia? I am sure you do not. Because if we start to care for every small thing that is going out there. You may see that it would go outside the influence of the self interest. So people think of their own self interest if it serves them good and if not they would be ignoring you.

People think Short Range


Noticed I used the range word and not term. Term refers to the time span. Here the range refers to the distance. Like in previous paragraph I wrote about how person from USA don't care about someone going through in the Australia. So you can see people have short range for the suffering. This is kind of good as otherwise it would break people too.

People think Short Span


Now let's time come into the effect. We have both curse and the boon for the time. Like we forget many things in our life as the time is one thing that affect us all. Imagine you keeping track of many things since the childhood and not forgetting them. It would consume you from the inside and affect you.

Conclusion


People care due to their won choice. People don't care because of their limitations. We don't have to take things too personal. And we have to give people some room as well.

How do you think? Should you care if people don't care? What's your opinion on topic?

I believe this question is based on perspective. Just as you mentioned, people cannot actually care about everyone and everything they come across. They are some people who show compassion regardless of the circumstances and they are some people who don't. We should just go about our businesses not putting too much hope in humans.
People will only care about you if you're a priority to them. It's not selfishness, it's just how we're wired.
