What happened

This really is not a story but more me wondering about the changes I have seen in 56 short years. So what happened? What happened to us, rarely do we hear the words excuse me or sorry, or can I help you, let a women go first, give up our seat for someone in need. Never did we swear so much in public without care for those around us. Why black and white or red or yellow why not just people and if your gay what do I care if your happy, what business is of mine.

I remember walking with my mom and if I walked in front of someone I was clearly told say excuse me. If you did something wrong you said sorry or for the loss of someone we said sorry. We had to put our toys away and respect other peoples property we would never write on it. We feared our parents more than the principle. Teachers earned and got respect they taught and yes some still do I know that. If a woman was walking in a door you said please go first and held the door and and if a lady was standing you gave her your seat. We di not use the F word like it was okay or any other swear word. We respected each other and now we don’t. So what happened why don’t we care? Why are we in such a hurry that its me before you, I will mow you down to get the train and you wait. If someone needs help we turn our head why. I needed help so bad at one point I will never forget those that helped me even with a cup of coffee.

At this point in this world we can’t get prejudice why?? I think because to much money is made on it. If we all got along and helped each other politicians would be at a loss so would so many others. Turn off the lights in a room and close your eyes you will never know who is what other than a person. We all bleed red, we all hurt, we all can love or at least like. So your gay great enjoy life who am I to say that’s wrong, why is it wrong? Today our toys may be guns or garbage or whatever. Why can we not just put things away and clean up. I am not against guns just idiots with guns that allow a child to get it.

I could go on but it just boils down to respect. We need to find it to respect ourselves and then others. I am not perfect but trying to be better. I want to be like my dog Sid he didn’t care who you were he moved over on the sidewalk and he just wanted a rub. Simple just be simple.
