Where did common sense, ethics and morals dissapear to in this country?
Laziness! We just continue to lower the bar with each passing day. We’re too infatuated with celebrity status (watching or being) to be concerned about such things as ethics and common sense. Wonder why we (as a society) can’t generate the kind of revenue to take care of ourselves (charities) that we generate in professional sports (entertainment)…oh no, we’ll have none of that now!
You are so right. The one that bothers me is Common Sense. It is so lacking. I see some people that have none and some that have little. I would say that it is the way we are raised but I am not sure that is true. I pretty much raised myself as my mother was in constant self-aborbsion and pity for herself and did not know how to raise 4 kids. But I always had common sense, the times I got myself into trouble was when I ignored it. The ethics and morals are learned from a very young age. A child does not know what it right and wrong unless they are told and have a chance to experience it first hand. Our parents pass down there morals too us or we can pick them up from school or church. This country is on a long hard road to Darkness. Many things have led us astray: Greed Apathy Lack of love Lack of forgiveness Lack of patience Lack of understanding Lack of wisdom Lack of Parents being with their children Too much high technology Not enough freedom (free time) No tolerance or compassion
