I always read about how generations (people) will change over time, but seeing some of the things that are going on now is crazy. How can a person’s mind do such crazy things or have a thought process that is beyond human comprehension. My thing is I hope it does not get any worse. Well, I take that back it already has just look around. I am not complaining about this, just complaining. The obvious is here or as people say, “The writing is on the wall.”

In my opinion and just my opinion alone we as people forgot that one golden rule, compassion for one another. It seems hard to find these days. I feel like when I encounter folks, they always seem to think that there is some hidden agenda behind just saying hello. They often appear to be on the defensive side, almost like protection mode. I mean we all must keep our defenses up you never know what can happen. But you don’t have to display it right away, at least wait until something happens. I guess society has given people the right to act like this because of what has happened to them. I am not taking up for anyone I just say that could be the case. But it still doesn’t give anyone the right to behave in such a way. I started looking at myself thinking maybe it is me, maybe I should smile more often with I talk to people. Well, it worked for some, but I was still getting the same results, just not as bad. So, I realized that with that little change it was a positive result. So, now when I am in public I walk with a little grin on my face. That is my way of showing compassion. To me this is just common sense looking at myself before I start to place any blame on others. But I guess common sense is not so common for others (LOL). Think about that for a second, we don’t like to be mistreated by others so we should treat others like you treat ourselves.

That is not the only problem we have. Some people will agree with me, others won’t, but it is all about how we feel. In my belief our feelings are part of our expression. Some people dress casually while others dress provocatively. To each own but people should understand that there is a time and place. When I was growing up there was a time and place for such things. But now it really doesn’t matter, it seems it is about if it feels good do it. My thing is are you considerate to others? So, I guess the bottom line to what I am saying here is what direction is our human compass (morals) being pointed too? Is it up or down?
