They are set in their ways and beliefs and are not open-minded enough to try to understand the other person or don't really take the time to understand someone else.

Another, as I was raising my daughter, I spent a lot of time trying to determine what I wanted to teach her. I chose a rather unique approach and instead of teaching her to blindly obey my rules I attempted to teach her that the world is a giant puzzle and that she is simply one piece of that puzzle and it isn't all about her. Every opportunity I had to help her examine a situation and where she could see how her actions had caused a chain of events was utilized. She learned empathy and compassion for others. And she learned it at an early age. I don't think many parents are thinking about this problem. If they would, the problem could be solved just by teaching our children to look at a bigger picture.

We are all able to do this ' because we live in a world that is self absorbed and not really even aware of what they are doing except for the fact of what they have to do next and how to keep their Head above water

Most people are mainly concerned with themselves and their problems. There is only so much space in the human mind for present awareness, and most of the time people are on auto-pilot or daydream mode, thinking of what they have to do later on, thinking about their problems, etc.

Because basically understanding, compassionate, discerning, empathetic/ sympathetic, forbearing, perceptive and trust have to be earned. They couldn't be given. Lack of knowledge of other people generally always trigger most people's disability for not being able to understand each others well.

Because we are too involved into our own world, we tend not to realize others around us.
If we thought more about others than ourselves, the world over all wouldn't be in such trouble.
