The First Six Axioms of Human Interaction

Axiom #1.  People will ignore you until there is a reason for them to do otherwise.  

Axiom #2.  Brandishing a gun in public, to offer one example, will give people a reason to stop ignoring you.  

Axiom #3.  People don’t intentionally mean to ignore you, it’s just that most are generally self-absorbed.  

Axiom #4.  Pointing a gun at a self-absorbed person will make them stop ignoring you, but may very well make them even more self-absorbed.  

Axiom #5.  There are few things more boring than a self-absorbed person.  

Axiom #6.  Self-absorbed people don’t know that they are boring, even when telling a story about the time someone pointed a gun at them.
