I agree that when people become numb they become less aware of the needs of others (or their own needs for that matter) & thus careless regarding their interactions. However, there are so many people who are NOT numb that just don't care what happens to others - they have no concern for their responsibility for their half of the interaction. As a result, the real problem is empathy which is replaced with selfishness: "I'm the most important person on the planet. Everything revolves around me, therefore what I want &/or need is most important at all times." People believe that empathy requires us to think of others before we think of ourselves, putting ourselves last & not having our personal needs ever met, but that's not true. Empathy requires us <em>not</em> to think of others before ourselves, but to imagine how we would've done give the same circumstances that the other person endured. In fact, this is the basis of the primary laws for democratic countries. Perhaps we would not have done what another has done, but we'll often find that we can at least understand another better.

Unfortunately, that's what I've observed at any rate.

It's one of the earliest written on the subject & the man apparently had the "sight" which enabled him to write on the subject. I'm hoping to add a few more groundwork books on alternative science. IMPORTANT NOTE: This site is entirely written & handled by just myself - Dawne Berry. No other authors contribute to the work here at this time. This is of course not including any free books I might offer. Hello Julie!
