In our surroundings we percept more dominant individuals and more weak ones. We tend to force our way of life to the weak individuals. We do not respect so their own opinion, personal growth, free view.
Respect often misses in our life. We work out the lack of it with help of social rules. However the relationship of an individual towards the society is not solved and so we do not percept our environ sufficiently, the one which can be of different opinion and different problems. We often see the coming problem some time ahead. Though no always it is fulfilled and still we are under temptation to solve it. If the problem is connected with a weaker individual, we consider our intervention being the only possible and even lack of information is not able to stop us.
