    it does. you have something to do and that is important. if someone has nothing to do the least they can do is acknowledge someone else has more to do and therefore that’s more important than the doing of nothing

    Only if it’s exaggerated for the sake of appearances. Some people might do that, either to make themselves look important or seek attention, but most of the time, people are in fact busy with some task, or are carrying something for a reason. And generally, that comes with some purpose that is important to them at the time.

    It’s a logical conclusion to draw, even if some people may hijack that reasoning to be deceitful.

    I mean … that very much depends on what stuff is being carried. Like if it’s the guy that is carrying all the vital supplies, that indeed makes them important.
