I was just thinking....What ever happened to people just being nice to other people.
It took me about 15 minutes to get directions to the highway in Kansas City yesterday...No one would roll down their window to speak to me.
At fast food places, it's almost like they act like it's not their job to wait on you.
Everyone is so busy and so self absorbed. When did that happen?
When I was a kid, people were nice to others without expecting anything in return. People were willing to help. These days is it really too dangerous? Too uncertain? Is everyone really out for themselevs.
Do we pride ourseleves in cutting down and hurting other people.
Think back on what happened on my blog over the past few weeks...do we find satisfaction in trying to extort or hurt other people. Why have we become the society that we have become and how do we change it.
That is my question.

People are so selfish. They dont realize that just a smile can make someone's day. Its sad. I dont know the answer. Many parents have failed their kids in the teaching respect of self and others.
Thats why I dislike going to Topeka, no one stops to say hi in passing, or even bothers to raise an eye. Store clerks are so rude! I always speak to people that i meet in a doorway or store isle, they look at me as tho i have a third eye! Its different here in small town, I guess that is why I stayed.
It's even worse on the East Coast. I went to New York City last Spring Break and people look like they want to shoot you if you just smile at them. It was not a good feeling.
This cracks me up .. being from the East Coast, I clearly recall how taken aback I was when I first moved out here, and how hard my local friends laughed at me. People talked to me everywhere I went ... it made me CRAZY! Even at the gas station. Now, when I visit back home I get the weird looks because I talk to everyone - well, "when in Rome".
