Tis a sign of the times!. We are frightened and uncertain!. This brings out the worst in us as we claw our toward some form of lifeline or boat!. We feel as if our individual ship is sinking!. Bombarded by things we cannot avoid nor do anything about!. Yet here we are, rushing head long into who knows what!. Unable to stop and fearful of what we see on every horizon!. No wonder we are angry and ready to fight!. Our culture is our mirror and so we pursue the violence to release the adrenalin that wells up in us!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

In my opinion and some experience, it's a facade!. Conscious or Unconscious!. It's the anger, fear, cynicism, ego!.!.!.!.!.etc!. that has blocked the kindness and love that every human being has in them but some know it's blocked, while the others aren't aware and think that's who they are!. They have never quesioned or enquired why they are the way they are!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

I don't think things have changed that much!. It always seems like older generations want to glorify the way things were!. For instance, my grandpa talks about how times were so tough, when in fact, the Great Depression was over by the time he was 17!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

there are LESS bullies today because nobody has enough energy to care about some random person!. There is MORE sportsmanship because people are more competitive and they like to make themselves feel good by acting like a heroWww@QuestionHome@Com

I believe there are fewer people who are what we see as kind, but those people are even more kind!. There are fewer people at the top carrying the weight of all of the not-so-kind people on the bottom!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

people today show little tolerance mean people suck but you probably have more examples of people being mean and short tempered then being kind or understanding sad reallyWww@QuestionHome@Com

Love is the only thing that the more you divide it up, the more there is!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
