The easiest way, and most common way (in my experience) to create problems in life is by disregard. Not paying attention, being lazy, giving only a partial thought, not noticing- these are the workers of pain, far more often than even machinations of the malicious.
How many abusers were unaware of what they were really doing because they turned their mind off to it? How many people neglected a child and it became dire? Who helps the down-trod by looking the other way or being busy, and yet, who hasn't done it? We justify it, make excuses for it, but the truth is that our lack of caring as a species for each other is what causes the most harm to us all.
Future generations will suffer for our selfishness, just as we did the generations before. Whole races of people, whole species of animals have been wiped out in the name of our comfort, without thinking about their own. We destroy our futures for want in our present. And we blind ourselves to the true nature of procrastination, of mindlessness, because if we actually could see the effects of our own behavior, we would die from the weight of what we do.
We hurt others, those whom we love and strangers alike, by being careless.
