Is it just me,or do people treat each other like they're disposable?

I see it every day,people acting like nobody else has feelings except themselves.Is our culture so self absorbed that we are able to hurt one another so callously as that?

    I personally believe that in the span of human history, that humans never really learned how to value the human life at all. They (still do) take advantage of each other and like you said, act as if they are disposable, not realizing that once it is gone, it cannot be replaced.

    i guess people disrespect themselves by trying to prove themselves to others when really youre soposed to prove to YOURSELF of who you are and who you can be. lets be real , we all know that you can try to pound your chest all you want and gain nothing because many are like this

    Its just human nature. Empathy is learned, and not so well in some people. Add this to the fact that beyond about the closest 90 or so people the average person knows, everyone else seems less and less important and its normal for this to happen. Unfortunate, but normal

    If I cared about some people, to be fair, I'd have to care about all of them, and since I couldn't function like that (I'd be crying constantly, and tears get in the way a lot), I just don't care about any of them.

    6 billion humans on earth, I would call that very plentiful. Things that are plentiful are usually disposable.
