Why would you care if...?

[JamesRam]

If someone lived or died, was in pain, what have you. Since that person is not you why care?
I don't so why would you?

[JamesRam]

No... I just don't care about other people, I never have.
I've never felt guilty either.

[JamesRam]

No.. I just don't care about people.
I've never felt guilty, either.

you sound like an ideal politician to me

[garner910]

you dont care cos ur a horrible person in fact a robot how can u even ask a question like that n the reason i would care and do care is because i am a nice person n know the world doesnt just revolve around me and im not a person who is all about themselves like u well put it one way u will live a very lonely life you mate and die lonely n the only person at ur funeral will be the priest!

JamesRam, I think that deep down you feel rejected and so you get back at the world with a 'screw them' attitude.

Psychopath and sociopath are the two terms that come to mind after reading your posts JamesRam.

I feel compassion for you - it seems that you do not have anyone who cares deeply about you, or anyone that has taught you to care about others.

[mydogsandme]

wow James,you must have masses of friends with your caring compassionate nature. You must be a joy to know and work with. Are you in caring profession by any chance?

[bednobs]

i think to care about other people dying or being in pain, you have to have the ability to put yourself in their shoes, or have the imagination to guess what it would be like to be someone else. i would imagine you dont possess this ability, which in a way is very lucky for you

[MrLee-Gend]

Seems a pointless threadAs the poster if they dont care if people live or die undoubtedly wouldnt care what others thought , and following that train of thought they wouldnt post this thread.


So i will give no answer to the question but just say isnt it time to ignore this ?

What a wind up!

[tinkerbell99]

you are the most selfish and shallow person i have ever heard of people care about other people because its natural for us to do so if you had children would you care about them if they got hurt they cant buy your clothes or food. and you dont feel guilt what if you caused someone great pain by running them over in a car or something would you not feel guilty for that? are you sure your human?

[mydogsandme]

Ifyou do have an friends,what are they gaining from the relatonship? It must be hard being around someone who doesnt give a s@@t about you.

It is what separates us from amoebas.
All intelligent species mourn the loss of infants or partners. Whereas cows go on razing.
But you know this anyway - why won't you fess up to your real motives for osting this question?

[Kleiber]

jamesRam, you've obviously never lost someone close to you. You're probably not that close to anyone - fine! One day, you'll understand......

[LizziB]

This is an extremely interesting question. I have refrained from giving the obvious, non-thinking response of 'moron', etc.

If this is a genuine question then I feel sorry for you JamesRam as you have not found true kindness, compassion or humanity and are most clearly the product of a troubled and abusive environment. I would respectfully suggest investigating therapy as you could easily become even more out of touch with reality and potentially either harm yourself or others.

On the other hand if this is an experiment, from a psychological point of view to gauge others reactions, then I commend you wholeheartedly and wish you well in your studies.

James, maybe you have Sociopathic tendencies. People generally care about the plight of others, whether they know them or not, because most of us are instilled with characteristics like sympathy and empathy.

of course if we don't know someone and heard of their demise, we obviously wouldn't feel the same kind of sadness as those close to them. Feelings tend to be centred more around sorrow for those left behind.

Last night I was watching a documentary made in 2001 about a morbidly obese advertising exec, who at 168kgs decided it was time to lose weight. The programme followed him over a year, where he exercised hard, ate well and by the following year, he'd lost 64kgs. I felt so pleased that through his hard work he managed to lose so much weight and improve his health.

At the end of the programme, there was an obituary, stating he had died, due to reasons not connected to his weight loss. Although I didn't sit their shedding tears and feeling bereft, I felt sad that after such a battle, he didn't live long enough to realise all the things he could do. I also felt sad for his wife, as they seemed so in love. Empathy kicks in, because I could imagine how I would feel if I were in her shoes.
