I don't know when civility died but ...Amen to that. <BR/><BR/>I don't know when civility died but I missed the funeral. I know we have tried to teach our kids to have manners and respect for others also.<BR/> <BR/>I think things took a turn for the worse when people turned into the "Me" generation. People have become self centered and only interested in their own self gratification. <BR/>People are losing the sense of community and team work.<BR/> <BR/>Look at the organizations that used to flourish and do so much good for the community. The VFW, American Legion, Knights of Columbus, The Elks, The Moose, The Lions Club, The Optimist, The MLEO. If you look at the membership of these organizations the average age is in their 60's or better. <BR/><BR/>People don't join like they used to. The only time people tend to join is if there is something in it for their benefit. (Such as a labor group) Then they only join to take and not give to the group to make it stronger. Again it is about the "Me". They believe that membership is enough.<BR/><BR/>Unfortunately they are missing out on the best part of the organization, the camaraderie and friendships that will last forever.<BR/><BR/> They will never know the good feeling or satisfaction of giving to the good of the group. To accomplish a project or attain a goal for the good of the group not the individual.<BR/><BR/> They'll never know the good feeling of being there for friends and knowing that those same people will be there for you no matter what. <BR/><BR/>The "Me" generation seem only interested in their toys and how much they can get for themselves. People matter not things. Now it seems the "Me" people care more about things and treasure their things more than their friends. It is their loss and society's loss that has helped lead to the Death of Civility.<BR/><BR/>Fortunately there are a few good people left in this world that still believe if manners and doing the right thing.Slammermikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01510659705682492807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8161681196766725842.post-18142370835799960272008-06-17T13:43:00.000-04:002008-06-17T13:43:00.000-04:00Here!

What perplexes me most is the reaction from other people when you hold the door for them or say "hello" to them as you pass them on the street or help them pick up something that they dropped. I always get such a good feeling when I do the littliest things for people. Maybe if we all started out "little" the world would see some "BIG" changes!Miss Jackie's Favoriteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02943277337921496826noreply@blogger.com
