Not Caring: Is that the Trick?
25 February 2008Well, seems that my topic “The Art of Ignoring” has caused a male/female difference of opinion. I’d like you all to weigh in with your opinions on this.
The men are all “Ya, that’s right! Just don’t care what other people think.” Which of course is probably the right way to think. The women are all “That is so wrong, how can you not care?”
Personally I’m at about a 80/20 split. 80% of the time I could care less what people think. It’s that 20% that I can’t seem to get around. Sometimes it’s a big thing. Most often it’s just some little thing that has me upset and I tend to get over it quickly. However, if you want to get me rip roaring, take no hostages, out to do physical damage then just go after someone I care about. I can be just as enraged if I perceive someone I don’t know well, or even at all, is being hurt.
I once had a shrink tell me I had “injustice” issues. That I tended to see things as black and white/right and wrong and that I get morally outraged at injustices. While I don’t consider it an “issue” I would have to agree. I find it repugnant when someone takes advantage of someone else.
So all in all I guess the men are right. I don’t care what people THINK I care what they DO.
What about you? Do you care or not? I want to hear your take on this!
