Why do people view others as statistics, "playas", competition, instead of human beings?

I've heard many pepole especially blacks refer to each other as "yo player," or competition, or even as just worthless random statistics instead of human beings. Everyone thinks that everyone else is just being a smart devious "player," and that ever last thing is about having a "game" about yourself and your life, an agenda, competing, and they have this whole, cynical, evil, hollywood'ish attitude towards it all,

instead of treating people like real human beings.

People will comment on your hair, clothes, face, body weight, and tear you down and even if you're successful they'll never give you your respect, or how hard it is to work towards what you want. No one asks you how much you have to pay for your car, house, phone bill, wardrobe, everything, hell even automatic toll booth devices like ezpass lol. I'm exagerrating but, everyone just EXPECTS you to have it all, know it all, and be perfect, and they view you as a "player," and no one cares about you or your struggles. Y?

Unfortunately, the world's a joke. Where do you see actually humane things happen nowadays?? As I mentioned before morals, ethics, and values are UNFORTUNATELY decreasing in today's world. People hardly have these qualities anymore which in turn makes them dehumanized in some sort. Living the big life in LA is one of most dreams many people have. The ugly picture about living the big life, or even just survin for some of them, is that they NEED to COMPETE and squash somebody else before that particular opportunity is gone with the wind. People who comment on physical appearance are usually insecure about themselves and JEALOUS for the most part. Except for talent agencies, dance agencies, etc...these are allowed to criticize because if you don't have what it takes then you don't have the job. Somebody else will have what it takes and therefore take the spotlight from you. Considering this principle of living, evidently everyone is going to start doing for THEMSELVES and STRUGGLING for THEIR dreams without caring for anyone. Why? Do the people that get help show gratitude for the help which they recieved so gratefully? NO! Once in their heir position they quash that person which helped them like they were zero, nothing. Unfotunately, this has been around for a looooooooooooooooooong time, it is just we now see more of this behavior than before. Though if you think about if, even if it is saddening and inhumane, it is true and that is how the world works. Everything revolves around the SELF. Nowadays you don't want to give UNLESS you get in RETURN. Unfortunately, that's the way it is. You would not WANT to GIVE unconditionnally to people who might afterwards just turn their back on you and/or backstb you. This process of caring for onself, surving for oneself, struggling for oneself is called INDIVIDUALISM. Noone cares about anything because they are too busy with they NEED and WANT to achieve. You got a big lifestyle then you will look at a poor and treat them like they were zero forgetting their origins ONLY because they had some golden chance opportunity to MAKT IT BIG and the other person didn't ahve as much luck or same opportunity for a variety of different reasons. It is very shocking and eye-opening but you havt to deal with the gloomy reality of the gloomy, cynical world. Remember, perfection does not exist. People who try to attend perfection will find themselves drawn into madness before they will ever realise that perfection does not exist. People who EXPECT you to have it all are generally the people who do HAVE IT ALL. The pretentious, snobby people that is. If you don't you'll get criticized. But remember these people lack certain things that other people have, such as certain QUALITIES. Think about it: does really more money bring you more happiness??? or does it make you have more problems??? does owning a big house and an expensive SUV make you "have it all"??? does it make you happy once you'll be alone in all of these?? does it make you happy to pay EXPENSIVE bill on all these things?? Is working all your life in order to pay these bills and taxes a reward?? doesn't all of this stress you out??? how do you live life when you are older and you cannot work?? what are your rewards for having worked all your life as a slave?? Think about it: WHY would you want to STRESS and WORK like a mad man for the minimal advantages you will get LATER in LIFE???

Personnally, being happy the way you are, living life the way you are comfortable living is true happiness. Doing what you gotta do without being excessively stressed out is

happiness. There are many other factors which contribute to happiness.

Remember Dawrin: "survival of the fittest" -- though is not applicable to he Hollywoodish lifestyle because people CHOOSE that path of COMPETITION. Competition= caring for yourself, struggling by yourself, being your own "boss", taking your own responsabilities, doing and not giving, etc... Usually competition=individualism.

Oh and it isn't the "outside world" that is against "the individual" It is the "individual" againt the other "individual". The "outside world" would be referring to Mother Nature. Nature is just what is like it is. People who are fake are the ones who are against people whom are natural. Let's not confuse these two different notions. Oh and people can't go against Mother Nature. She is the strongest. She tries to be an eye-opener for the individual, if you are still blind, then you will be doomed somehow sooner or later by Her. And certainly also by other individuals.

Life is lovely. Breathe the clean air and take a look out the window :-)

Look at the positive things while managing the best you possibly can the negative things.

i hope this helped clarify a bit...

it may be a way to protect the fragile ego from injury. humanizing others means you must also be human and humans are vulnerable to both physical and emotional injury. many people don't want to risk it.
