Perceived Level of Importance

I am unsure if anybody follows my blog, I don't have any sign-up or comments. Either way, it does not matter, just as long as I can get my voice out there that's good enough.

Recently, I reached a point in my journey where I have grown tired of other people; I am, of course, referring to those at a low level of perception who are locked into subjective logic systems.

What I started to see over the past decade was a complete collapse of local communities and disintegration of social structures; mainly those communications via physical face-to-face interactions.

It seems as though people are absorbed into their own worlds and have developed a perceived level of importance, with how they view friends, the world and even their own family. This is something that's been going on for around three decades in many western and some non-western countries around the world. Though, it's more been prevalent over the past decade.

When people are within a person's personal circle, they are selected or become part of that circle by default; either they are their children, a family member or somebody they care about. Those outside of this circle are not perceived as important, even if they are considered as friends; in reality, they are more like associations than actual friends.

I understand that people have their own lives, but we as a species should be evolving to the point where we should actively reach out and connect with all of those around us.

We have carers who have the responsibility to care for the elderly, yet in reality, it is not just one person's job. Rather, their family should be helping to care for them, as well as the local community.

Each and every human being is somebodies child; just because they grew up it does not mean they are to become irrelevant and sidelined because they are not popular, or they are not in somebodies inner circle.

The same goes for when they grow old and need to be cared for; how selfish are we as a species to be brought into this world by somebody who nurtures us as we grow, loves us, cares for us, feeds us, and teaches us. Only then, when parents who brought us into this world grow old and need to be cared for, we just dump them in a care home and evade the responsibility. Life is a continuous circle, we are cared for, and we care for; in the beginning, we are cared for, then we care for ourselves and our families and carry forward to the next generation. At the end of our parents' lifecycle, we give back what they gave to us and care for them as they did for us. Does not matter how tough that gets, or whatever the challenges are, they too battled with us their children as they raised us.

On that same note, when we care for others and seek to connect to them, they should always find at least a few minutes to return something and seek to connect with those outside our circles and show we care.

I keep hearing the same or similar type of excuse over and over again:

"Sorry, I was busy",

or

"I was swamped with work"

or

"I was busy with life", etc...

There are 60 minutes in an hour, 24 hours in a day and 7 days in a week, in addition to 29 to 31 days each month depending on the month. Also, there are 365 days in one year.

Which means, even if a person can't respond the same day to a message, or even within the same week. They have no excuse beyond that, as anything past a month shows that you are not really perceived as important to them whatsoever. If you were, they would make time to respond to you within a reasonable time frame.

Take for example when you meet a new connection, either a friend or even a potential partner. Everything is new, and the chemicals are hyped up in the brain, people feel all fuzzy and act in such a way like they are on a drug and need more of it.

When the effect wears off and their biochemistry starts to settle, then they start to change the value of how they perceive that friend or partner. It's the same for all humans as we grow accustomed to other people we interact with.

Though, we as humans should actively work together to keep the connections alive, rather than just not bothering to care for others around us. If I take the time to reach out to other people, even when I am extremely busy, then why is it so hard for others to do the same?

I am very busy now, yet I am writing these blog posts and most days trying to actively engage in conversation. Why? Well, I have a loose schedule that's not too strict and not too loose. I set no expectations for the day and just have a rough idea of what I need to get done. Regardless of downtime socialising or writing blog posts, I still manage to get what I need to be done.

Just sick of hearing these excuses. We need to make time for other people, and stop sidelining people to the point we perceive them as not important or with a lower level of importance.
