Is a long recorded song clip on one's answering machine or outgoing voicemail -- a form or symptom of egocentrism?
Tell me if I’m wrong.
If a person plays a long song clip as their outgoing message, they are assuming that the song will have some sort of calming/enthusiastic/happy/energetic/feel-good effect. I’m talking about longer than 7 seconds. Anything less than that is excusable I think as being a normal outgoing message.
But longer than 7 seconds… of music??? Aren’t people who subject all their callers to that— erroneously assuming each caller has the time, interest, and/or ability to feel such good things from a song clip? And isn’t that an egocentric assumption?
Also, I’m talking about adults. Teens and younger people don’t really know about these issues yet, so they can be forgiven for what is natural to them.
