It's None Of Your Buisness . . . REALLY?

Question

Aren't what other people do in their lives apart of your business in an indirect way? Let's say someone get's drunk at a club and decides to take to wheel and get on the road. The same road you're driving on comin' from work. Isn't that your business all of a sudden? A few minutes ago this person going to a club and havin' a good time, was non of concern, nor should it have been. But my has that changed in an instant. This person is your buisness now. That guy having an affair with your wife and on his. Now that guy's life has impacted yours! A complete stranger who's life you had no business with a day or 2 ago has so much ifluence. Him havin' a good marriage probably would have benefited you a lot more. But now. . .

Really in many ways what strangers are doing their life, do kind effect you some how. Maybe not all of the time, but many of the times. So saying it's non of your buisness. . in many ways is it not?

THOUGHTS?

Answer 1

i have to agree i am a home health nurse and if i see a wreck on the side of the road i am legaly obligated to help if i go to the store and see a woman hit her kid in the head legaly i am a mandatory reporter and i am in a whole lot of trouble if i dont do something but i get told by friends oh its not youre kid its not youre problem and i think it is our problem

Answer 2

i always wonder what the point in meeting the people i met was when they p**s off out your life again
(i include myself here as i have been guilty of doing this to someone)

you know them when you see them
(not' know' but know they exist)

they exist you cant help it now
thy are there you see them
they see you

gorgeous guy in gym, (man he was hot)
stranger to me
then hes there
we see each other
we think about each other
even see him on the bus and end up right next to him (man he was hot)
then hes gone
again a stranger
but not so much a stranger that if i saw him id pass him without recognition,
so is that not 'not a stranger' anymore does it count?
i think so
no matter how small
its a difference


but he influenced me to think something
to feel something
as they all do

and it stays
it makes or made some difference

people are our business
they are there
they exist
we exist and we are their business
if something happened to you on the street
youd be the person who has seen its business, the person whos seen you

they might have nightmares/dreams about you
about what happened
about their actions and their fears
and it stems from you

a look from a stranger can bring down or brighten up your whole day
or only 2 minutes of that day
but its something

the person passing you on the street, that stranger, could be your next door neighbour, or your next lover, your family may marry into each other somewhere along the line

they pass you by, you pass them
your lives merge for those seconds
thoughts are happening

not all strangers have the opportunity to enter your mind
nor you theirs
but some
are no longer so strange

still strangers but always connected

Answer 3

for your sake, you have to draw certain lines about what is your business and not because you could go mad with the responsibly of so much business. a drunk driver is your business and mine. they make our very public roads very dangerous. it's not just your business to deter them, it's your duty. social policing. but that stranger who might just ruin a marriage, that's different. it's different because you never know what is business and what is fate. you can never trace back why something like that happens. if you stop it from happening you never know if it will just make it happen later and stronger. and you never know if making a situation your business makes business better or worse. sometimes things are meant to be and controlling then only makes them be worse.

Answer 4

Great example and question. I agree. What others do and what we do affect others; directly or indirectly.

If someone got behind the wheel drunk and was on the same road as me, yes it is DEFINITELY my business. A family friend died due to a person who drove drunk. The drunk driver entered the freeway through the exit and crashed into my friend. My friend died on the scene...

Answer 5

You are right, what others do with their life is none of your business until it impacts you own, usually negatively. Unfortunately people seem to feel they have a right to dictate to those others how they behave and act, without stopping to see that those people aren't even the same ones.

Make any sense or am I just rambling, again!?

Answer 6

You sound like the typical nosy busybody type who just cant stand to keep out of other peoples business so you rationalize ways to make things your business.

A person's right to swing their arm ends where someone else's nose begins. Until there is a clear and present danger to your nose, mind your own F-ing business!

In case you haven't heard, driving while intoxicated is already illegal. We really don't need you monitoring everyones after work recreational activities.

Additionally, adultery is just cause for divorce (even from a biblical point of view). Perhaps had you spent more time tending to your wife rather than sticking your nose where it doesn't belong she wouldn't feel the need to fool around on you.
