These I remember....

Respect

Common Sense

sensibility

graciousness

Yet all of these words that I was raised with..

that we lived by ...

have slowly fading away from society.

There is enough of the underlying of people that

aren't in the news, that still try to live by these.

But less and less are.. as they see the people in the

media, especially those in sports and music and etc.

The young lady who was caught licking off a donut

at a donut shop.. her apology rang hallow.

You see Kanye West get up on the stage and denounce

the winner of an award... because HE thought someone

else should have gotten it.

This weekend another who lost, tweeted remarks

of how she didn't get to win or get nominated

because of another person..  What happen to

gracefully congratulating the person who won.

Talk about sour grapes...

We all know that respect and common sense left

the building years ago.  And sensibility, I think,

that left right behind respect and common sense.

It seems to be fashionable to put others down,

make fun of those less fortunate.  

Those born in the past 15 or 20 years have

only seen and heard this new way of being..

Sadly so... and no one seems to want to teach

the difference...or they get laughed at trying.
