"People see themselves as the center of the universe and judge everything as it relates to them"

This quote by Peace Pilgrim speaks with the propensity of people to view the world through a self-indulgent lens. We frequently evaluate the world and its events based on how they impact us personally, rather than thinking about the more comprehensive ramifications. This can lead to a narrow-mindedness that stops working to acknowledge the interconnectedness of all things. We may not understand that our actions have repercussions that extend far beyond our own lives. By recognizing that we are not the center of the universe, we can open ourselves as much as a more holistic understanding of the world and our place in it. We can learn to appreciate the beauty and complexity of the world around us, and to recognize our duty to take care of it.
