What are your observations on society and where it’s headed?

Bridie

Society as a whole has certainly changed over the years. Some people no longer have time for others, Most are in too much of a hurry - going about their business without a thought for others and not willing to help out when their input could make all the difference to somebody in need of a kind word or helping hand.... It's all Me, Me, Me.
Manners are also a thing of the past. "Please" and "Thank you" are not in alot of folks vocabulary anymore, and driving on the roads has become a nightmare for most - all because we have become impatient and aggressive.

We, as a family have attempted to get to know our neighbours but only one household are interested. We are not after living on each others doorstep but to be able to chat over the fence when we see each other, would be nice. Instead, the majority these days are hell bent on getting on with their lives, head down, bum up - not bothering to take the time to interact with neighbours and definately not strangers.
I do voluntary work in the community and see many unhappy, lonely people - not all are old either!
We seem to have lost the spirit of interacting with and acknowledging the presence of others today, and if you recognise yourself as being like this, then you are missing out on a very important part of life,.
