I have what one can call a laissez-faire attitude. i don't care what others do, unless it negatively impacts on my life.

are persons happier and healthier, if they focus on their own goals/wishes/needs, instead of worrying about what others do?

Yes. Why worry about something we most probably can't change?

um, I think you mean wear blinders

No! I mean I focus on my own life and that's most important, but I'm also very much aware of what is going on around me and I am concerned with others lives as well. Many other people enrich my life, and I'm happy to have them in it.

if you dont wana see around you-- you put on blinders that is what they put on horses when they dont want them distracted. blinkers are what you put on cars so you can indicate a turn.

Yes, I know Huck. You and I posted at the exact same time in response to Samston's post. I know what blinkers and blinders are. I'll edit my response to be more clear.

I wish some people wore blinkers. It would make life much easier knowing where other people are headed.
