  The Top New Videos list is always full of interesting, current videos. It is always recommended that you have a look through the Top New Videos, but also have a look at these:
  - Upcoming Unsifted Videos - active video submissions that neither are published to the front page nor archived to the submitter's personal queue
- Have you seen a really funny, surprising, scary, interesting, cute or in any other way extra good quality video?
  Post and share it here - VideoSift is the best video aggregator on the Web, where we share, discuss, promote, and interact with the best videos out there on the web. Post it here, and share it with the large community of video-interested users. And - you are guaranteed to find more very good videos here already!
  Mind you, we only share videos you discover that someone else has made; if you "self link," by posting a video you have made, have posted or have interests in, you risk the ban hammer - read the posting guidelines before posting. The sift is NOT for promoting your own videos - it is for sharing videos others have made.

Outrospection (empathy) is nothing without introspection first.

One will have no perspective to offer others is they do not fully understand how they think or feel themselves about the life they live.

I understand the need to be increasingly empathetic. In fact, I applaud it. However, one must not swing the pendulum so far the other way as to lose sight of one's self.

I like this guy's bent, but introspection doesn't necessarily mean self-centered behavior. If we accept that we all are a mish-mash of influences from the world around us, introspection means learning about the world around us.
