Yeah, I find it quite amazing how many people these days don't feel the need look within. For them, having both feet on the ground by means of a career, money, reputation is everything, so when these are given then no need to change anything about themselves. I am again and again utterly surprised at people's lack of self-introspection. They prefer telling others which way to go yet at the same time grow furious if someone else is 'berating' them. The lack of empathy these days is really at an apex. The consciousness bifurcation is getting ever more pronounced.

As long as we are stuck in our own thoughts we cannot truly experience or know others.
