Most people believe that the world revolves around them. This is a common fallacy. It just happens, even though they don’t realize it. This fallacy can be described as self-evidence. While it is not egocentrism in itself, it falls within the same category. Egocentrism means the inability or unwillingness to recognize differences between self, other, and oneself. Egocentrism also refers to the inability of accurately predicting or pondering other ideas than one’s own. The fallacy that “the world revolves around you” is false, is similar to egocentrism. This fallacy states that if someone believes something is true, it is likely true. It’s possible to use one’s belief as a benchmark and compare it with the reality. This fallacy, which I already described as “The World revolves around Me”, is now more in perspective. Because people live their lives and have the right to their opinions, and because I live in a society, it is false that the world revolves around my.
Fromm states narcissism occurs when a person exerts effort. It is where the person is in direct contact with reality. There are two kinds of individual and social narcissism. One is social narcissism, which occurs when one doesn’t feel like they belong in a group. They may not be interested in the activities of the group or not contribute to them. On the flip side, individual narcissists might feel low self esteem and may want to hide from society. Many people believe that the world revolves around them. These people believe that their way of thinking is the best and only way to do things. They believe everyone should bow down and serve them. In this way, the above concepts can be compared. Narcissism is a form of self-deprecating behavior. “The world revolves around my” refers to someone who is depressed and believes they are superior to others. This fallacy is best illustrated by my mother. She is extremely analytic about what she wants and how she does it. For instance, she has two different dinner forks. One made from thick metal, the second is thin. She thinks it is ridiculous to have them separated by thickness. Her dishwasher must be set up in a particular way. My mother can show others how to do a task if it isn’t her way. We have four dogs, so she says she walks out to the backyard with them until they go their way. Then she returns inside. She sometimes doesn’t want to be outside with them, but that is understandable. She gets annoyed when I take the dogs outside, but she won’t stop until they’re done. Then we get into an argument. She also makes sure that the dog’s mess is cleaned up and disinfected with a cleaner. This may fall under the “fallacy”, but it could be. Perhaps she is correct, perhaps not. I don’t know. But she has the right to her opinion.
This fallacy can also be seen in the friendship of mike. We see each other almost every week to talk about various topics. He also has an uncanny ability to talk about things. He will often start sentences and then pause to finish them when we have a conversation about something. It is simply because he doesn’t know the subject matter. He will say anything and everything to prove that he doesn’t lie. Let’s say we are talking about smart phones. He claims he knows the cost of making an iPhone or a Samsung Galaxy, and that all other smart phone companies do it the same way. He claims he knows the details of cell phone companies doing this. He will say he searched it online for the information, but he doesn’t. I sit there, listening to him, and then I think, “If you really know what you’re saying, then you can prove it with your one-million-dollar iPhone.” I believe he didn’t actually look it up, but he just shrugs it off. Another example: he enjoys talking about the past.
Similar to what happened between Japan and the United States during the period of Japan’s bombing Pearl Harbor. The United States took harsh measures against Japan. Japan then bombed Pearl Harbor. This was the opening of the Pacific War. He still holds grudges against Japan to this day. He refers to Japanese cars, such as the Kia, Toyota, Honda, and Toyota, as “Jap pieces of shit”.
This is when someone believes that everyone must also believe the same thing. Believers are not always right. A person’s belief in something is not sufficient to make it true. Reality doesn’t have to be the same as one’s beliefs. Reality must be consistent with one’s beliefs. You don’t have to agree with the beliefs of others. I may believe that abortion should be illegal, but that does not mean that I have to agree with others. They have the right to form their own opinions and can believe whatever they want. The belief that the entire world revolves around you is intolerance. Because we live as free people, we must respect and adhere to the rules of communication. They have the right to voice their opinions. Peace and harmony can only be achieved through good relationships.
It’s absurd to believe that the universe revolves around you. Even though I might be valuable, so are all people. It’s important that I consider the issues from different perspectives and see the solutions to every problem. God created me to be an incredible creature. I was made to be happy, loved, and respected. Let me accept who God has made me to become and give my all. My importance is great, but everyone else is equally important. There are many ideas that go beyond my perspective and must be taken into consideration.
