Why should I care?

Some of the answers / reasons that I can think of:

1. Because you matter.

2. Human beings are emotional and moral beings - we simply aren't capable of observing other people's behavior without reacting emotionally and morally (though not always rightly!) to it.

3. Because we are good at thinking, we can learn to override our initial emotional reactions and behave as detached.

4. We care about other people because we can't help it. When we cease to care altogether, we cease to function as humans.

5. Anytime you do something good, you should do it without expectation of reward - the world doesn't work like that - but for me at least, it is better than living with the fact that i could have helped and didn't.

6. Caring must come near top of the list of how we do things which help define us at our most empathy, giving, tender, reflective and nurturing.

7. Concerning yourself with this question means you care. The fact that you turned your computer on means you care. Specify what it is you care about then you have a non-rhetorical question.

8. Because in the end... why shouldn't you? What else is there to do in the world but care, when everything is the way it is and you've seen what it's like not to care ... how can you afford not to? Caring isn't optional when you've looked at the world. Because deep down inside, you know that you already do. You just shouldn't have to lie to yourself any longer.

9. Because asking "Why should I care?" means that you actually care because you want a reason or justification for your not caring.

10. When you cease to care, it's the defense mechanism 'discounting'. You literally make it nothing. You kill something's existence in your mind and equally kill your cognizance of a situation and a small fraction of yourself.
