Why is this important? Why should we care?
Ever notice something about children? Say between the ages of two to ten years. How they are so happy most of the time? How they love to play? How ever thing in life is about having fun. I was at the airport and noticed that as the adults seem beaten down and trudge along laboriously the kids skipped and ran around laughing. Even when just walking they try to have fun and look at everyone and smile and looking for someone to play with.
But as you go through life trying to be a sincere and good person only to have people fuck you over and take advantage of your good nature, one that most of us are born with, you become jaded, suspicious, resentful and a bit bitter (Uberman). Now you go through life looking, expecting and often finding the worse in people. Life begins to lose much of it's hope and optimism. Your day consists of a lot of head shakes and rolling o your eyes. You alternate between disgust, anger and apathy. You even become inure to other people's goodness and even suffering. After all, it doesn't really matter. Life sucks. As the FB crowd likes to say "FML."
So when you see that a person has somehow manage to go through life without getting jaded. To still want to trust and see the good in people. In the case of Arce, as a coach, he has made a career of trying to bring out the best in a person. That one will be given the benefit of the doubt and be respected as a human being until proven otherwise. And to want to why someone would be so thoughtless and inconsiderate. It's such a mystery.
Whenever someone dismisses, takes advantage or abuses an act of kindness and consideration they in their own small way has contributed to undermining a civilized society.
And people wonder why our culture has become more crass, dishonest, obscene and uncivilized.
