Why Care?

The most intense aspect of the human nature is the connection. Friends, family, and soon to be lovers. All different, but all very much the same.
It's the touch from one heart to another. It's the invisible connection of souls uniting. It's the connection a tree makes with the wind as it blows through the earth. The connection is invisible, yet the outcome is for all to gaze.
But why?
Why do we throw these connections away?
Why do we cast off people like old, waste?
Is it that we really have no clue at how powerful a connection can be?
Is it we are so self induldged with ourselves, that we live our lives centered around the current moment only?
Why would we do that?
How have "people", "connections", "life" become so expendable.
WHY CARE?
Dare we care enough to see beyond ourselves?
Do people care, or just simply long to exist?
Do real connections exist? people who care? who love?
and NOT just for a moment?
