(no subject)
I don't really know how I am supposed to be feeling, or rather how I am expected to be feeling. When I consider how I look at other people's lives, I don't harbor much interest nor much compassion. Maybe just the fleeting notion of, "that sucks." I guess it is all about how far you are zoomed in on everyone. At a distance, everyone is apart of something more, the individuality is sacrificed for the central movement of the group. It is still there, but you are not perceiving it on purpose. At different scopes, only certain variables matter, or even more so noticed. You don't have a choice in the grouping methods, you just become encompassed into sublets of directories. Gender, race, zone, diagnosis, proximity, theology, time. I guess that is why people want to be apart of something. To make their own standing. To be apart of some higher recognized effect. Does that make them less selfish? I don't know.
