Who else out there feels like if it doesn't involve you, then why should you care?
me.
I do but it depends on if it envolves someone who is close to me and how important it is.
probly just because I'm baked but I dont understand the question hahahaha
I occasionally catch myself feeling like that, though i hate that i do.
Unfortunately, selfishness seems to be part of human nature.
yup!Quote:

None of my business? I keep my nose out of it.
If you are asking if i mind my own business, yes. If you are asking if i care about anyone or anything besides myself, yes.

Well, you're more likely to stick your nose in a true friend's business than with an acquaintance. Right?Quote:

i would help out a friend but not an aquaintance cuz do you think an aquaintance would help you? hence the term "aquaintance".
I'd have to physically be helping someone for it to truly matter. I can't be sure my non-perishable donations are going help someone truly in need of food. If your tuned into the right channel you will see the minute(s) long commercial pleading for your help. Or you could send your money to fight the cause? Giving money has never helped anything. In your latter years of contributing you start realizing, "These people are still hungry? Has my money done anything in these past three years?" Sooner or later you keep doing these 'acts of kindness' just to make yourself feel happy. Selfish bastard. Memories can't be sacraficed with these random acts of kindness. Pretending like you care.Quote:
