Question Posted Wednesday January 20 2010, 10:30 pm
What I have noticed lately is that many people stress about what other people do.
I try not to but everyone does.
What do you think the world would be like if people didn't care what others did?
And just worried about their own life, with a few exceptions.
Do you think it would be chaotic or peaceful?
in a way, it would be peaceful. no one would judge others about what they did, or the way they felt or believed. it would make people feel a lot better about themselves. for the people who do care about what people do, it would be like they lost something they really need. a necessity. they'd be lost and would look for something else to bug people about. it could go both ways.

It is good that you notice that others stress about what others do, because this means that you are aware of your surroundings.
I believe that if everyone didn't care what others did, life would be peaceful for some and chaos for others. Such as, if you only cared about yourself, you may become self centered, lonely, demanding, have little/no friends, never feel love for others, become aggressive, and make negative changes in our world (for everyone needs someone to back them up, or support them, or a shoulder to lean on).
Or if you only are aware of yourself, you will become aware of your likes and dislikes, you will help yourself find peace with yourself and everyone around you, you would make change for the better, you will see life more clearer, and you will learn not to take things for granted.
It all depends on the individual person, the environment they live in, and the outside influences they expirience. Everyone is different, and therefore its a debatable topic. I think the media is a definate influence on people, some of the influence is good and some is bad unfortunately, but everyone sees things differently. For example: if you tell someone you like green, they could have a picture of green in their head BUT it might be deep green, where you are thinking of a different color known as leaf green. In general it is the same color.. but if you take a closer look there is much more than just the color name. When I say green, it is never the same shade you are thinking of, it is a completely different view.
It is definately something to think about. Most people don't stop to think about why they are worried about the things they are worried about. Is it really worth it? Maybe the other person sees the other side of a situation.
Whatever the reason is for caring what others do, it must have something to do with our heart. When you think something is right, you tend to get involved.
