Because the old saying is still incredibly true, "What goes around, comes around." There is a reason it has been around for such a long time. If you are considerate of the feelings of those around you, they are considerate of yours. If you always disregard their human right to feelings, you will eventually alienate your self from the rest of the world. I think it is a natural instinct for us to care about others. I am not saying we all have a strong instinct for this, but just like some others, if you don't use it, it flounders then fails.

If you do not care about others' feelings, people will soon learn to avoid you as much as possible, thus reducing your effectiveness in dealing with them. This can be disasterous when dealing with employers, employees, and coworkers; no matter how good you are at your job, if you are a cold rat bastard, they will find a way to get along without you entirely.
The same applies to friends and potential mates. If you don't care, others will eventually get the message and find people who do care to spend their time with.
If you find it is hard to care about others, find a counselor to discuss the matter with. He or she may be able to suggest ways to interact with people successfully even if you find you really cannot and do not care about others.

Most people appreciate it if others are nice to them; I know that I do. If you really don't give a damn how people treat you, you can be as obnoxious as you please. But I claim that being nice is much more fun. There is some sound psychology behind the Golden Rule.

You don't have to, if you don't feel like doing it. I mean, if you don't really feel the need to care, any attempt for you to do it is useless. Only you don't know what you're missing.
Besides, if you don't feel like sparing people's feelings. Don't expect others to do it with yours...

Its called being human. If you do not does that imply you are subhuman?

BECAUSE IF YOU ARE MEAN AND CARELESS TO EVERYBODY AROUND YOU THEN NOBODY WOULD WANT TO ASSOCIATE WITH YOU AND THAT WOULD BE A LONELY EXISTENCE!!!
