huh... sometimes really fel unhappy with friends attitude. mmm... should how to say it? can say that one of the theory that i study in child development, 'child egoentrism' in piaget's theory actually still exist in adulthood. is just that it appear in different from... or i should say it as 'selffishness'... people always only will look at their own side. very often they will consider other people's situation. support what i said?
example one... people always borrow money from other people. problem is if the money is for urgent use ie education, medication, still can be understand. but borrow money to go vacation, play, i can't think the reason to lend to this type of people. is not outside people, is someone who very close to me. problem is, i am working and studying at the same time, and i have to support my breakfast, lunch, dinner, petrol, room rent and school fees. and you were staying in own house. and want to lend money from me to go out play... is it a little too over for that?
example two... when you were busy studying, and you said something that offended me. that is when you need me, you will look for me. now i am having exam and i am working at the same time. you look for me to help you on something that become important because you postpone it for a long time. and why can't i just tell you that i am busy study and will look for you when i wanted to help you instead of make time to help you solve your problem? maybe i am too weak... i should treat you as what ou treated me last time... but i didn't... still, sometimes i will have the thinking that you always used me for your own purpose... you will not look for me, beside when you need my help... 'egocentrism'... only look at own perspective...
example three... when something wrong happen, everyone will say their own never do anything wrong. everything is other people's fault... is that true? please, think twice before you say the word. look at your own heart, as him, is that other people's fault? people is like that. as what a malay proverb sound 'gajah di depan tak nampak, kuman di seberang nampak'... or direct translation as 'you can't see the elephant in front of you but you see the bacteria on the other side'... from the sentence i think everyone will understand what it means... yes, no matter how big is the mistake that one person make, they will never see it. but no matter how small a problem causes by others, it will be seen as big problem... still, 'egocentrism' happen...
so, agree with me that piaget's theory children egocentrism actually still exist in adult? the answer is 'yes'. like the private speech turning into inner talk, the egocentrism perception also change into inner egocentrism, only think about own self...
