Here is a simply fact of life, “It only matters to you.”
 
Think about a time when something bothered you. This could have come at you from any number of sources. But, something occurred that you did not like and it upset you. Okay…
 
Now ask yourself the question, “Who else even cared about the fact that you did not like what happened?” The answer to that question is probably either very few people or no one at all.
 
This is the reality of life. Think about all of the people across the world right now. There are billions. Think about how many of them are upset about something right now, in this moment. I know I’m marginally upset about something right now. Do you even care? Your answer is probably, “No.”  You’ve got your own melodrama to live, and you could care less about what anyone else is going through.
 
Now, this may seem uncaring, and all of that kind of stuff. But, this is the reality of life. This is how people think and it is how they behave. They are all into whatever it is that is going on with them and their life and maybe even the people they care about, but they could care less about people out there in the greater realms of life and humanity.
 
Be honest with yourself… How much do you care about what someone else is going through? How many times does that thought even go through your mind?

I know I wish this were different. I know there have been times when I have told someone else that they should care. But, if they don’t, they don’t. And, if they don’t there is nothing that you can do about it to make them change their frame of mind.
 
There’s really nothing anyone can do about this. This is just the reality of human nature. People only truly care about themselves.
 
This is just something you need to keep in mind the next time something upsets you. Yes, you may be upset. Yes, you may even want other people to care about what you are feeling. But, in the reality of this reality, when the truth be told, what you feel only truly matters to you. Sad, but true.
