What are the right words that I am looking for? I guess I will start and see where it goes.
It is hard being intelligent sometimes. We learn about all kinds of things. We learn to do things and not do things. If we are lucky we learn to think about things before we do them. This is where the hard part comes in. If we are lucky we think about things before we do them, and it is sometimes hard to understand how what we do effects others. Have you ever sat down and thought about the complex web we create when we do things? How it effects others? Take just about anything for example. Say we take a job. That means someone else wasn't hired for the same position. That means that we will actually work with people and some jobs requires to work with the public in some fashion. During this interaction we can change others and they can change us in some ways. When we buy a candy bar at a store we just gave the vending man some business and it helps to pay his salary, plus it helps to fill our stomach. If we buy it from a store it makes the cashier do work and exchange our money for their goods, plus it makes a receipt for the managers to read. The money will likely go to the bank and gives them some work to do. Plus it is less money in your pocket or checking account to buy other things.
I will be the first to admit that I usually don't think about what I do. Maybe you could add some more examples to this post and see where it leads us. I am sure different people will have different ideas about what to post.
Also how can I be more aware of my own influence in the world?
