Because of that our grandparents have too much trust in mankind. It's sad but I believe it is true.
Wow, that was beautiful.
Honestly, it made me think.

Why can't we just get the respect back?

Maybe it's not too late for humanity.

Unfortunately, small things like telemarketing scams have caused us to have to be hard and skeptical and suspicious of everything.

For example, people used to hitchhike...it was a cool, environmentally friendly way of transportation - not to mention a nice way to meet interesting people.

Now we are taught NEVER to give a stranger a ride or hop in the car with a stranger...no one can help people anymore because of fear that they might be a serial killer.

This is just one small example of a world gone bad. Everything is like this nowadays. No one helps each other. Everyone wants to be a victim. Everyone wants to sue each other.

I'm getting depressed...on to the next subject.
