You are absolutely right that we can be very self obsessed, and see ourselves as the very center of the universe. If we can get over that mentality, we can avoid a whole lot of unnecessary pain. @Tom

I like the way you put that - “Really we are just at the edge of other people’s lives”. You are absolutely right that we can be very self obsessed, and see ourselves as the very center of the universe.

If we can get over that mentality, we can avoid a whole lot of unnecessary pain.

"She just bumped into me...am I not important enough to not be bumped into?". We always emphasise the connection from our perspective, even if the other person had no intentions towards us at all. Really we are just at the edge of others peoples lives and we usually don't know why they do what they do. Thanks for helping us understand this Tom I think it is natural to take every thing personally as we are so self obsessed.
