I have known so many people, over the course of my life who move through their days from the perspective that they are at the center of anyplace they find themselves or any situation they come across ... an egocentric perspective. I think it is healthy and wise to pause, occasionally, and consciously take notice, that - all around us - people have their own lives going on.
