Surviving

Why do people stay alive in an egosentric world?

Without question everyone in the world is a narcist, though with different level. It's ok to be narcist but egosentric is not allowed, some tell..what egosentric is?self-centered,selfish,and many other synonims with the word 'self'..so it is 'self' itself..

The feeling that other concern is not important, the act of being ignorant..currently people tend to be like that..it seems that technology has become one of the biggest contributor..when I was in hk I saw that most of the middle age and teenager are preoccupied with their mobile phone..in bus,subway,restaurant,pedestrian..I tried to eavesdrop or just pass by while peeking..they are texting,twittering,facebooking,or called their friends to just gossiping..

I think this bunch missed a lot on their way..I saw many things than what they see through their screen..I saw elders sat on a park bench or entered the bus with shaky hand..some people wondering near restaurants with hungry stomach..or just talking with a stranger in a bus..

How can they live? I don't have any clue, can you help?

Some elders told me that we have lost relation adjacency when we stay offline instead online. But I don't think technology is behind the problem. It comes from human, how we deal the technology is something to figure out.

They called it socialized when they update themself on social networking website.
May be they feel really "alive" only if they can reach internet.

Then it's just a different perception, what is real life and what is socialized.

You've said the similar argument as Dawkin's selfish meme.

Hm, each people live their life with their own values, it's egosentric ? No, that's a privacy. I thing, we should distinct between personal values and social ones,and try to commit with the social network with our own "smallworld", that's an art of life.

Nice writing.

What about you? Do you prefer talk to a stranger, sharing your mind, or just smile and say how do you do? Or do you prefer keep your head down stay pretty and minding your own business? Or maybe you just observe what other people do, so you have something to write ?
