It’s the people who step out of doorways without checking first whether they might walk into passers-by.
It’s the people who try to get on the train before others have a chance to get off.
It’s the people who stand and chat in the middle of the pavement, or dawdle in shop doorways, who seem unaware of the possibility that they might be causing an obstruction.
It’s the people who smoke while you’re eating, or conduct loud mobile phone conversations beside you on the bus, because their convenience and compulsion overrules your comfort.
It’s the people who stop walking immediately after passing the barrier, or leaving the shop, or stepping off the escalator or bus, causing a pile up behind them.
It’s the past-midnight minicab driver who double-parks and parps his horn in the street, waking the neighbours instead of walking to the front door.
It’s the people who are always first in the queue, or whose issues are more urgent or important, no matter where they come in the line, or how long others have waited.
It’s the complete inability to consider - or indeed care - that your actions have effects on others, people you don’t and will probably never know, that depresses me about people today.
The world may not revolve around me, but it doesn’t revolve around you, either.
I just don’t want to live in a society in which the prevalent attitude is “I’m alright, Jack: fuck you”
Am I being hopelessly naïve in wanting people to think about others, just a bit, before they act?
Solipsism is people who post their whole lives to the Web.
I thought solopsism was people who think that the whole web exists for them to post their lives to it?
Only for people who can spell it.
Yes, well, quite.
Sad that the put down of solipsism is done without readding the great works of Dr. John Dorsey, Sr. of Wayne State University in Detroit. A real solipsist would do nonoe of the inconsiderate things that are given as a definition of one.
A real solipsist should never be an egoist,for his egoism is equal to hate to the metauniverse. I’m a pansolipsist who has created his own kind of solipsism being completely unaware of what any other philosophers had already achieved. Check more here: http://www.enklawa.prv.pl .
You describe egotism rather than Solipsism. Solipsism is not without thought for others but thinking of others as they were oneself. The two are completely different. But I like your stlye. Thank you.
I don’t know why some of the commentators bother coming to this site if they don’t want to read it’s creator’s views (after all, some of you have been to this page at least twice). I think it’s a good site. Keep up the good work.
