Because you shouldn't want to make the world harder for anyone else, and should be able to put yourself in someone else's shoes and see how they'd feel from your poor treatment of them.
What guarantee that if they were in my own shoes they wouldn't fuck me up?
Why not focus on my benefit regardless of its effect on the world?
Why care about a society that does not care about me?
I feel that The Platform movie answer exactly this question, everyone care only about himself.
You can't control what others do to you, but that's no reason to make the same people in your class miserable. That's my point. Perpetuating the poor behavior will only make the world a harsher place, and that could eventually come right back to you.
I guess you did not watch The platform and that is why you commented with what you commented, so let me put it simply.
The people who are above me will always be as harsh as they can, the people in my same class will get the tit for tat treatment in order for us to be able to get the max benefit from each other and the class who are lower than me would not get any space in my mind, just like I won't get any space in their minds.
Yet in the Platform it's the people with more of a mission who get things done and move forwards.
Those content to exist within the system of begging the uppers for scraps and not caring about the lowers don't get ahead, or indeed any of their wants in the end. They just enjoy hedonism for as long as they can before they meet their end.
See, but there's not a class below you. There are only upper class and lower class at this point. You treating the rest of your class poorly will not get you any further in life, because you are not upper class.
