In the novel in reading, they were talking how in Venice, the electricity is so intertwined and tangled, that if one gets a short circuit from a electric kettle , they quite possibly electrocuted their neighbor.
And we know of the butterfly effect theory, that a butterfly flapping its wings somewhere in Europe, may cause a hurricane in Japan.
Now with all that interconnection of things, why would one not thing about the consequences of their actions. The 5 seconds someone spends thinking of a witty line to chat one morning may torture someone else for the rest of the week. Butterfly effect. Electrocute your neighbor . Selfish enough not to care
