2. Mindset.

While taking a stroll after lunch, one of my friends asked me a metaphoric question with an exclamation – How can some one be so arrogant?!

I asked – What happened?

He told – There is this person who seems to be bigheaded that he doesn’t care what other person must be feeling. He never considers anything when he wants to get his work done.

Further he added – I cannot be like that. However I fail to understand what makes people act this way? Does it not create a pinch within?

I said – It’s all about what takes over the facts.

For instance, I said – If a poor fellow riding a bicycle or a handcart comes and dashes your car, you would usually react verbally but won’t take any money from him thinking that he is a poor chap. Let it be. What if another car bumps into yours? You would make sure he pays you or else you will take him to the cops. Fact is the same i.e. Accident happening. Damage is also similar i.e. Car need to be painted / repaired. However, the reaction is different. Why?

In the former case, Sympathy took over the fact while in the latter the focus was on the fact and nothing else. Net-net, there are different categories of people with varied attitude and mindset. There are some who think, if something is to be done, it is to be done – no matter what. While there are others, who feel that they cannot hurt anyone even if they have to bear loss (may be with distinct and assorted limits depending on person to person).
