No one is looking past the ends of their noses these days.

I haven't isolated the "why's" or the "who's" but I feel like I'm handing out favor after favor lately, falling victim to the "Treat your neighbor as you would like to be treated" lament.

But of course I'm not being treated how I'd like to be treated. It seems I'm doing favor after favor for people who seem unable, unwilling, or possibly unaware that it might be customary from time to time to do the same.

Everyone seems far too concerend with themselves. Which is fine. As of lately I've began playing off that feeling, that emotion, replicating it in my own day-to-day behavior.

And it's all around me. It's at work, it's at home, it's online, it's offline, it's everywhere. The first time I felt these feelings, I felt ashamed, even rediculous for experiecning such self-centerdness.

So I thought about it, and examined it. And this time it's not me. It's y'all.
