The Importance of Being Concerned About Your Internal State

There is this person's actual state of emotion or mind and then there's the state that could be reasonably attributed to him even the behavior. I think in a certain fundamental sense we can't really care that much about the actual internal state of other people that will never ever get to see. But somehow we become fixated on something that's totally inaccessible to us insofar as he's at a great distance for us. We've got to be somehow concerned about the internal state that other people will plausibly attribute to them and then how that will affect other people's behavior.
