The world has changed

The world has changed so much. Society has crumbled to a point where a person having basic manners is now viewed as a rarity. Sometimes I just sit back in amazement watching interactions people have with one another in public. No matter where you go, the store clerks are rude, the customers push each other around and children have filthy mouths. When I was growing up I was taught manners and how to be a proper gentleman. You held the door for other people, you said please and thank you and you always acknowledged people even if it was just a simple hello.

When did we become such a selfish society? Most people don't care about their fellow man. People can be starving and freezing cold on the street and most people can walk right by and it doesn't even affect them at all. There are people buying 39,000 dollar backpacks while others suffer and can't even afford a basic meal. Is this what God wanted us to become? I highly doubt it. I was raised Catholic as a child. I was taught compassion and how we should always help a fellow man in need. What happened to just simple love and compassion?

Why is that we feel the need to insult a total stranger and hurt their feelings? Are people that sick, that hurting someone else brings them happiness. I think whats happened in this world is most people have no idea what happiness is. But the reality is it's their own fault. Treat others as you would like to be treated. Be the change you want to see in the world. Maybe one day the world will wake up and things will change. Maybe once again our society can be a society filled with love instead of hate. I know for myself I dream about that everyday.
