There seems to be drastic shift in some of the basic tenets of our society.
- Right and wrong have been replaced by an infinite number of shades of gray.
- Fair has morphed from making sure everyone has the equal opportunity into the quest for equal results.
- Honesty for its own sake has developed into anything is OK if you don't get caught.
- Integrity has been replaced by naked ambition.
- Compassion has changed from empathic kindness into a self serving search of love from anyone who wants something.
- Being humble has become an embarrassment instead of a virtue.
- Patience has given away to impulsiveness.
- Peace has changed from a goal worth fighting for (no, peace and fighting are not mutually exclusive concepts) into an excuse for avoiding conflict at all costs.
We must take it upon ourselves to teach our children and each other what is really important in this life. The alternative is one that I would rather not encounter.
