Your rule is based on ignorance then. Be kinder
I disagree. It’s the only sane way of thinking.
Are you saying you perform zero mental calculus to determine these sorts of things? You do not consider laws, social norms, or even morals? Where do you draw the line? If there is a literal community fruit tree at a park near your house, would you take all the fruits until people ask you to leave some for them? If you are driving home and you see a house with a beautiful garden, would you stop and steal some of the plants because the resident should tell you not to? Would you practice your guitar at 3am with an amp because, who knows, maybe your neighbors actually enjoy it or maybe they sleep with earplugs and since you had a great musical idea at 3am, you should "be bold" and "take what's yours" and they should tell you 3am is a stupid time to play guitar with an amp?
Did you also say you live in a homogeneous community of somewhat assholes and you think you're being bold by also being an asshole?
I would do all these things and probably wouldn’t even blink and forget about it few hours later.
In fact I have done such petty stuff innumerable amount of times and worse. People say you can’t sleep or something. Bullshit, the key is to wake up early.
Don’t even make me tell you about things I do when I was not sober. Though I don’t drink anymore cause it is unhealthy. I got lots of funny stories and insane tales. Good times.
Honestly only through internet I realized most people are built different. I don’t know if it is cultural difference or something else but you are all so alien to me. It’s fascinating. I for example was like that as far back as I can remember and even worse. Much worse. Nowadays I am an all cute goodie good. Age has softened me. I am really agreeable nowadays. I even make a point to be nice to people.
Should have seen me 15 years ago. You would probably be robbed out of your alcohol by me back then as It was my favourite trophy. I haven’t stolen a thing since 5 years, do you know how boring that can be? It’s almost insufferable.
But no I am in a good citizen timeline now. Queer, wholesome lady artist is my current occupation.
You might want to talk to a therapist because that is not a "cultural" difference.
But if you don't care that other people around you think you're an asshole even if they're not coming up to you and saying it, then there's nothing anyone can say.
Being kind isn't difficult, have a good day.
