I have lived a hard life, but I acknowledge no one cares about my hardships and they care even less about my identity. Healthy, functional people are just looking for ways to get further ahead in life. People are transactional and do not have time for one's long and detailed explanation of a self definition unless their time is rewarded in some way. Happy holidays.

Very ominous but that's not true. There are plenty of healthy, functional kind individuals who are interested in people of all kinds. Photographers, good journalists... and people who simply are more empathetic to the life circumstances of someone. Furthermore, if someone is interesting, for the majority of people there is a natural curiosity being piqued to learn more about that person. Nothing necessarily transactional.

  Photographers and journalists are people who's time is rewarded with money as compensation, as well as fame and status in some cases. This follows in line with the claim -- >>>"People are transactional and do not have time for one's long and detailed explanation of a self definition unless their time is rewarded in some way." People who are just empathetic or curious, sure. I will not deny those scenarios exist.

    But the fact they chose that career often implies they like it. The transactional nature of living wages is always there but let's not forget careers can be picked. In particular, art is something you usually don't do for money, and even though journalists can be uninterested, there are 'good' ones who are there because of their interest in the world around them, the facts, opinions and viewpoints.

      I am reasonable enough to see truth in both sides of this argument. Not bad.
