i had an argument with you about this
love is good, but the way you talk about it is over-doing it.
In my opinion, Love can never be over done. :/
but you called a lot of people self-centered because we're unwilling to help someone we don't know. that's not right. i care a lot about the people i know and trust. my friends, my girlfriend, my family; they're all important to me.
I never said you were self-centered. I was saying how the world has been rendered to a state where numerous people care about themselves first and above all else. In no way are you self-centered, from what I've seen, nor are you arrogant. Though, not caring for another because you don't know them is a mindset, or attitude, or merely an idea I get fairly worked up about, even if someone doesn't base their life about it. Sorry if I came off like I was insulting you, or anyone here, for that matter.
why would i kick a dying person on the street? if i saw somebody lying there, dying, sure i would help them. because at that point, i've made the smallest connection with them: just seeing them on the street. that's the difference, to me, about wanting to help some kid in africa, as opposed to someone on the spot.
True, true. You have a point there. Though, why must the connection be made only when you know the person's condition, or rather, when it is quite obvious? I was actually metaphorically speaking there, but it is valid to still state what you did. My question is, though, why can't the connection be that they are another person, or living being? Everyone needs Love, just not needs it as obviously as another.
like i said before to you, life's all about survival of the fittest. love is only a secondary tool to keep you going.
Life is about surviving as you can, not surviving above another. Imagine Life as a wall. Opportunities are on both sides, and at certain points going up and down the wall. The only way over, is several ladders. There is so many people, often we tend to push others off the ladder to make it over. What's to say, though, that we can't stay on one side, and hold the ladder for others?
This is how I see life, truthfully. I in no way mean to tell you you're wrong or a bad person, sorry if I came or come off that way. Just certain topics get me a bit steamed up.
