I'm not sure I agree, we all do the same. We tend to have better attributes and respect for those who are important to us (family and friends)... The further away we go (like some unknown person in a country on the other side of the planet), we don't tend to examine the consequences of our actions on how it affects them. Of course, we all have different rates of dropping off in the care and respect...
I've haven't been in a fight since primary school... I think if I was involved now, I would probably do my best imitation of a punching bag.
hahaha!
I think those people like family and friends they earned our respect otherwise we just wouldn't speak with our parents or have those people as friends. When you meet a completely unknown person or have to deal with one the basic logic is to be on alert because you basically know nothing about him/her. That doesn't mean though that you can't be kind to them like with your close people. Respect must be earned though.
that's quite true and many studies have indicated that this has 2 different aspects. The first one that because of that and greed the world is like that. The other aspect is a little bit different and it's regarding deaths,catastrophes etc etc of people that we know and we don't know. If we know them then it gonna affects us deeply, if not the next day we gonna move on with out lives and that's part of our evolution.
We adapt and we don't let things affect that that bad, we move on. Just imagine if a death of person in another country due to a heavy raining affected us the same a death of a beloved one. What i want to say is that we be should be kind to everyone and not depending on the person, we should just be ourselves and later on depending on the replies we get or they things, we learn or know we can either respect or not the other person
