Question of the day for today:
Why are so many of us always so concerned with what other people are doing?
I know most people do this, I know that I'm not exempt. Why is so much of our mental real estate so focused on other people? Things like, "Why is he doing that?" Or, "Why is she wearing that?"
Those are simplistic examples, really, and I know that sometimes the 'what the hell is going on' question is centered on how said other person's behavior affects us personally.
It makes me wonder, though...how often is that used as an excuse? How often do we tell ourselves that we have a right to be outraged, when really, it doesn't matter to us in the long run?
No, I really don't know what brought this on, I really don't. I'm sure it was probably thinking about something work related, but in the end, I have no idea.
Just more food for thought, I guess.
