These are not obligations

15% Normal

First of all, helping someone else is not an obligation. I do not understand why it's so hard to understand that kindness, helping others, etc. are not obligations. Furthermore, I don't understand why it's so hard to understand that things are earned. And once again, being human doesn't suddenly mean you've earned it. Should I be all nicey nicey and help my idiotic bitch sister just because she is a person? No, absolutely not. If you have not earned it, you don't deserve it. I will say this once again. You are not OWED respect, kindness, decency, or anything else. This mentality that we need to care for others simply because they're a person is truly what's loaded beyond belief. And whether you like it or not, not everyone deserves love. This just how things are. I am so tired of these morally superior people telling everyone else what they should and should not do.

You are correct that those things are not personal obligations.

But, they are things that many different sociaties in the world have learned are necessary for people to survive and improve for the future.

If no one helps you after you are born. You simply die in a few days. If you want your child to live you have to help them.

And thus it starts.

So if you wish to take advantage of what society offers you - you are expected to contribute back to society. Otherwise you die - and relatively quickly at that.

  LOL no. If that was the case, a lot of people would have dropped dead. They are not essentials.
  
  "If no one helps you after you are born. You simply die in a few days. If you want your child to live you have to help them."
  
  But in those situations, someone needs to do that since it is their duty. Only then are they obligations, otherwise no.

I guess you don't have to respect them if they lost your respect because of their actions. What has your sister done that made you conclude that even family isn't worth saving?

  I can agree with this! People can *lose* your respect. I guess I go in with the opposite approach. I respect a fellow living being until they give me a reason to lose my respect, but it takes a LOT. Do I respect pedophiles? Fuck no.
  
  I have an elderly relative who has been an alcoholic their entire lives and constantly blames it on their sexual abuse as a child. All the people who abused them have been dead for decades. Other family members have gone through sexual abuse and still took responsibility for their actions, good and bad. This person is now living with my sister, and is apparently a "Born Again Christian" and is constantly talking down to me for not believing the same way she does and even though she is constantly judging other people and throwing stones. My sister caught her with a vodka bottle this week and her immediate reaction was that it was my sister's fault because my sister had had a drink earlier that week and it had "triggered" her drinking.
  
  So yeah. To me: respect is deserved, but it can be lost if you treat others disrespectfully. I do think that relative does deserve food and shelter, but she's on a quick road to losing all of that. My sister has four children and I told her to put them before an alcoholic traumatizing them with her behavior.

    So do pedophiles deserve basic human needs? I mean, since apparently every single human deserves basic human needs, I'm guessing that goes for them too?

      Every human does until they lose that right. A person can lose that right if they obstruct the rights of another person.
      
      A sex offender has their freedom taken away, but is still fed and given a place to live, prison. A pedophile is someone with the sexual attraction to children and while it is foul not all of them prey on children and not everyone who preys on children are inherently pedophiles.
      
      The person who raped me repeatedly from the age of six to seven was an older child who was repeating his sexual abuse on me. He penetrated my anus despite me having a vagina, it was like he wasn't even aware of it.
      
      All living beings are worthy of basic respect until they give a reason to lose it. Otherwise, society would collapse. Mothers cannot just stop feeding their babies, the elderly and disabled cannot be thrown out to the street with no one to care for them. That's a non-functional society. That's a failing society.

        It depends on who you think is worthy of respect, what exactly someone has to do in order to be deemed as being worthy of respect, and what someone has to do to lose it. This is just your opinion. Have a nice day. And about the elderly and disabled, like I've said, nobody is really obligated to care for them. You can only feel as though you are obligated. It's a personal choice.

        Societies that do not care for their elderly and disabled tend to be failures. Lack of empathy is not a sign of intelligence, it actually tends to be a sign of the opposite.
        
        I think your perception is off because you likely live in a country where the disabled and elderly are cared for, at least somewhat. Godspeed if something ever happens to you and you need help for your disabilities. Having a heavy door hit you when you use a cane because there's no automatic door isn't fun.
        
        You don't have to care about other people but don't be surprised when no one cares about you either. Love and empathy is a virtue. You're not better than anyone else by lacking it.

Without the idea of kindness and decency I’d have eaten you the moment I got hungry.

So think a bit harder about your philosophical rants and their implications.

  I probably am quite tasty, honestly.
  
  But no, I'd say I'm on the right track with my "philosophical rants".

    Those two statements contradict regarding yourself.
    
    So no, you are not on the right track.

      I never once contradicted myself. Right now though, you're being a bit of a hypocrite.

As a part of a society, you have certain obligations by merely existing in said society. Kindness is one of them. If you wish to avoid societal obligations, live outside of a society, then you are obliged to help yourself.

  Wrong. It is not a must that you be kind just because you live in society. I may live in society, but that does not mean I have to be nice to everyone. And again, some things need to be earned anyways. That's just how things are, and how things should be.

Are You Normal?

These are not obligations
