What good is it to care about the feelings or welfare of other people? It is obviously something that any group of people needs to be cohesive, but for an individual with no group, in a society as large as ours, what good is caring about other people?

Re: why should we care about other people?
Taking the time to care and be considerate of other people is a form of social investment. By caring about others and their feelings towards someone, you increase the chance that you'll be pleased with the actions the other person does to/for you. If you randomly decide to tell your waitress that she's a fat and ugly, then you should expect to have very poor/slow service for the rest of the night.
In a long-term investment sense, caring about people allows you to easily make friends and build good, long-standing rapports with people. That way, when you need help, you have a network of people you can fall back on.
Anyways, this only answers the question: "Why should we care or pretend to care about other people?" As for why one should genuinely care, that's a bit harder to answer.Comment

Re: why should we care about other people?
You bring up the most pointless of questions that it isn't worth any persons time to answer, especially if you're going to ridicule the answers given.
The answer is humanity.

I think we still need other people now, but I don't think you need to care about those people. Don't sociopaths and stuff have more money and power?
Sounds like a crappy way to live though. Ask anyone else what a meaningful life is to them and they'll likely say it would have to include contributing to the greater good.Originally posted by MixMasterLarOriginally posted by the sun fan
