Answer a Question with a Question...

Wouldn't you think technology that connects the world through social media... some good and some bad... has been a factor in society becoming less "straight-laced"?
 

If I were to confuse the already confused, wouldn't it be confusing to determine who is the most confused?
 
Isn't this the perfect place,
to ask a question, if someone is confused about any very general topic, and doesn't mind not getting, any helpful direct reply?
;):ROFLMAO:
 
Where do you go to get answers, today, to life's difficult questions? Google? Siri?? Encyclopedias? Elders?
 
Yes! She had just turned 19 and I was already 19. At that time, girls were "of age" at 18. Boys weren't until 21. I had to have my parents sign a 'permission form' before we could get a marriage license. Still married 55 years later.

Did you and your spouse go on a honeymoon? How far did you travel?
 
Yes. Hawaii for three weeks - it was heaven. Still very happily married 40 years later.

Have some divorces (among people you know well) taken you completely by surprise?
 
Interesting - human behavior shocks the hell out of me...

Isn't there a difference between being surprised by human behavior and (sadly) believing as true the horrific stories in the news?
 
Our purpose in life is to leave society and the Earth better than we found it. My generation has failed... and failed miserably! Seems every day I think human behavior can't dig itself any lower. Low and behold... it does.

Is there anything we, as individuals, can do to change the loss of ethics, morals, and respect for our fellow man we have seen happen before our very eyes?
 
Isn't showing small kindnesses one of the best ways to make the world a little better for everyone?

(Let someone with a few items go in front of you in a grocery store. Leave plenty of room between you and the car in front of you when driving and for Pete's sake, let a car - or even a (gasp) truck ahead of you when it's signalling that it needs to move over, etc.)
 
If we all practice those small acts of kindness, wouldn't our neighborhoods be brighter... in turn our towns be brighter... in turn our states be brighter... and, in turn, our world be brighter?
 
I think so. About 25 years ago I saw a bumper sticker that said, "Drive like a Christian" and it stuck in my mind. Regardless of our religious beliefs, if we all drove as we think Christ or the Buddha or the Dali Lama would, how much stress would that relieve?
One kindness infects another.

I try to bear that bumper sticker's wisdom in mind when I'm driving - I don't always manage it, but I do pretty well.

Do you have any little reminders that help prompt you to be a little gentler to others?
