Do I just know the wrong people or have things changed this much?

[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 603117, member: 84"] I'm not sure if it is "stress or fear" as the cause of the loss of "good" people or not. Might contribute, but I think it is because our societies focus changed to an all for one and one for all attitude to me me me me me and I want I want I want attitude. We've become spoiled and bratty as a society, worst yet, it seems to be approved of. I do still see good people, genuinely good people. I was raised by people like that. I tried hard to raise my kids that way......it's not necessarily "taught" it's learned by example and participation. My kids are pretty "good" guys themselves, although they do have a tendency to slip into society's attitude once in a while and if I catch it, I correct them. I remember we were on a walk once. Now a couple of blocks over we have the dearest elderly (very) lady who is determined to do everything herself when getting her groceries into her house is a major feat that can take a considerable amount of time. As we approached I was glad to see easy child right along side me taking bags.......and Darrin and Brandon joined in. I don't even know this sweet lady's name. Although when we see her carrying stuff inside on our walks we always stop to help her. When a society has to actively campaign for Random Acts of Kindness that society is in trouble. I don't care where it is. I still see it, more so since I moved to this small town, but it is nothing like when I was a child. Although I DO have to say these hard years we've had is changing that......and I see more and more young people especially learning to be "good guys". Gives me hope. [/QUOTE]
