What is going on with people in the world these days??? No one has respect for others anymore it seems. Why is that? We all have emotions. Imperfections abound in all of us in one way or another. But what makes one person feel they are more superior to judge and pick on another, or tell tales on someone? Ultimately we all just wanted to be accepted for who we are, as we are, with no conditions, right? Kids being bullied to the point of suicide is very distressing to me. I was raised with a parent that had a physical disability that showed, and if we even remotely made a comment about someone that looked a little odd or different we were punished on the spot. It was unacceptable....no questions asked. And so from an early age I learned to look past those things and look for the person inside and decide from there.
Respect also goes for the elderly. Why do we as a society make our elderly feel like they are in the way or a nuisance? I think they are treasures we should value for their knowledge, experience, diversity. I love my little old people. I seriously think they are near the tops of my list of things I should do with myself. I really feel like I have a lot to offer them in the way of support and care.
I had a conversation recently with a friend and we were discussing things I should do with myself. She suggested looking into helping the sick.....like hospice care. I really think that is an avenue that I am going to explore, because I think I have a lot to offer.
So this is what I think. I think that people need to get their heads out of their asses and pay attention to their children and what they do to others around them, because we have a problem and no one seems to be trying to address it. As well as I think we should give better care and respect to our elderly and sick. These are all people that want the same things we all as human beings want.....love, respect, and companionship. I dont think that is too much to ask is it?
