I guess all of those depend on whether we are talking about the activity or the emotion, the prior requiring more than one individual, while the latter being a singular experience, or something.

Good points, you're right. I think the reason I identified the second example as not caring, despite having "thought" about it, is because "caring" might only qualify as caring if more than one person recognizes it as such. You can't really care about someone unless they exist, can you? It requires two people at the least, if we are on the subject of empathy.

What I mean is; is it caring if you think about the other person, but the other person does not know of it?

I suppose though that everyone not living in North America, Europe and Australia can say that, especially us lonely souls in Africa.

Hopefully our government learns something then. There is similar problems simmering beneath the surface of, especially, the poorer communities, in particular regard to service delivery and basic foodstuff prices.

Maybe not so many people on the forum, but Egypt as a whole cannot be considered small with 84.5 million odd people.

Is there a difference between :s and :S?


You are now TypeIxTP? Or did I just not notice it the previous time?

Since you live in Egypt, I have been wondering something for some time - what did Mubarak do to set of the protests after that many years as president?

Well, if we define "caring" as actually doing something about the others ills, then the first is objectivity, and the second is not caring at all. But surely, there can be situations in which you don't do anything about it exactly because you care about the other person, can't there? Sometimes, they need to fight their own battles

I get what you're saying, though.

Nothing wrong, he is one of mine too after all.

I think a person with sufficient self-knowledge, control over their emotions and a rational mindset will find it hard to be strongly emotionally affected by problems of other people, even friends. That does not mean they do not care, though. It just means they can detach themselves and look at it from an objective point of view. Although the line between objectivity and not giving a shit is quite blurry considering traditional morality, and how people tend to view such individuals as "cold," so I'm not entirely sure. All I know is that if you can keep a cool head in times of despair, people will appreciate it as long as you stay considerate, which is a choice, and not a reaction.

Your location:

	Not near you ...

Why do you assume that?

Glad to oblige

Just one question: What does x) and :s mean? (I'm terrible at emoticons).

	HA, Made you say it x)

It was the first one that popped into my head. Could also have used 'exhaustively', 'heterosexuality'/'heterosexually', 'homosexuality'/'homosexually', 'hydroxides', 'inexhaustibly', 'phyllotaxis', 'prophylaxes'/'prophylaxis', 'sixthly', 'vixenishly', 'xylophones'/'xylophonist'/'xylophonists'

I was so stunned, I was concussed. This innovator pretends to be an evil mastermind for fun -- because it is cheesy.

lol, I was just messin with you.

You may indeed. Hope you like fractals, fae, folklore & fantasy. There is more yet to come, but I've not had the time recently to do any. There are other av galleries as well full of interesting stuff.

Another destroyed inner child. Excellent. Bwa ha ha, etc.

Just kidding, dude. The reason your av comment is ironic is because I started an av gallery thread.

LOL! Well then go to bed and have sweet dreams. Just remember that getting out requires some work and so you should plan ahead and put things in place now for the future. I was never one that lived all in the moment. I have to have some sort of plan to work with, even if it is just a framework or an idea. Catch you later then?

Are you around?

I am going out again today. I will tell you about what I have been up to when I get back. No, I am not mad.

Of course it does (look good).

You practice Ramadan despite being an Atheist? Why is that? (Respect for your tact!)

Is that because of Ramadan?
