People disgust me!?

Question

It may be harsh but they do! What happened to physical contact, telephone calls, stamped mail, please & thank u's? What happened to calling just to call, instead of txt'n? Why do people think it's ok to litter, to push, to be entitled, and demeaning? When did it become ok to make fun of others, to forget where you come from and who helped you get there? Why do we disregard people like we're all that matters and when confronted with that, we become defensive?

Answer 1

We are trained from day one to consider ourselves more important and more entitled than anyone else. If you go back to the days where men were gentlemen and women were ladies you will also find a very wide chasm between the truly entitled and the lower classes. The rudeness was primarily reserved for the aristocracy.

When all of this was going on, people of the lower classes were "put in their place" from birth. Children were the lesser of all classes. They were to be seen and not heard. They worked from a very young age and responsibility was instilled.

Today, most children are treated as royal children once were. Children are not only given what they need but given what they want. They rarely have to work for it. When they begin interacting with society they meet others with this same mentality of entitlement. Now the competition begins.

With the lines of aristocracy becoming ever more fuzzy and children razing themselves with internet, video games, television and music that would have shocked the crap out of peoples sensibilities in another eras, it's no wonder that we, as a society think it's okay to litter, push, to be entitled and to be demeaning.

Answer 2

The funny thing is, we only see in others what we know of in ourselves. So, I guess it's time for a change, eh?

Answer 3

The one thing you are missing is, "Where the disgust is arising!"
