Life and Death

The other night I was watching the newest South Park episode. This particular episode was titled 2 days after they day after tomorrow, or something like that. It was about Katrina and the people stranded on their rooftops while no one did anything to save or even help them. This got me thinking, that the only thing that brings every person together to mourn, help or even care is life (i.e. being born) or death. You do not see everyone thinking about Katrina or doing whatever they can. In fact, it seems to me that the only time people care about things is when it happens and when it is brought up again. So I started to wonder why the only thing that brings every person together is life and death. I came to the conclusion that people cannot relate to each other unless they themselves have gone through that, this is because everyone will go through and has gone through life and eventually death. This eventually led to the conclusion that no one on this planet cares about anything they haven't experienced because they cannot relate to it. No matter how much you try to imagine what it was like you will never know until that thing has happened to you. So because of this, why do people try to care about these things. You do not know what they are going through, words cannot comfort them, if you want to truly help them experience it for themselves and figure out what they really need. Otherwise go about your daily life and forget about, but already everyone who is not suffering in the world already is. People have enough problems about their own lives, why worry about other peoples lives if your life already sucks. Now I'm not saying people shouldn't help, I guess I'm saying in a really round about way that people are really callous creatures who only care about their ass and are expected to care about other peoples lives because if they do not, people will think they are evil people. Which in fact every person on the face of the world is evil and they are just trying to pin the blame on someone else to keep their ass'es out of the fire as long as they can.
