It's obvious we live in an increasingly busy society but personally I am appalled at the lack of common decency I witness in day to day life. I often wonder is it just over extended/over scheduled rat racers or does it go a bit deeper than that? I lean towards the latter but my lady Tuesday insists I'm just a pessimist.
Self absorption and self importance seems to be running rampant to the point of a dilemma some days. From road-ragers to door slammers and elevator-closers "love thy neighbor" seems to be a mere memory. Now I must admit there's usually a person or two on a daily basis that do their best to renew my faith in society but they've got their work cut out.
A pleasant smile or a warm good morning are highly underrated tools to effect a more peaceful society. I know it seems ridiculously simple but just consider the idea. I believe you can generally change the path of a troubled soul with something as simple as a warm greeting and a smile. Even just eye contact can brighten a miserable day.
I'm not sure if I'm just an odd creature or a dying breed but I've never felt in line with the average bear. All signs do seem to be pointing towards a more cold, crude society. Sorry folks, the verdict is in, the decline of the American family ensures that decline wins over dawn of a new era.
God Bless and have a Merry Christmas.
