Illusions

What is the problem with the people of this world? What is wrong with the kids of the world? Who do we blame for all the violence and corporation in this world? I do know that we can’t blame just one person this would have to be a group issue. A group issue that only a group can fix. We are seeing kids that think that it is normal for them to sit and their elders stand, thieving from others, hitting and fighting with everyone with them is become a norm. The adults are now only thinking what is in it for me when asked to do something. They would rather pick the highest paying job so they don’t have to be there for very long out of the day and in turn becoming more depressed from going to a job everyday they dislike. Instead of picking up a book or starting a conversation with anyone can’t be done without some type electronic device in their hand first. It is becoming a norm for most to share secretes via text messages. Where or when did we all go wrong? Is there a fix to any of this at all? I miss the days that no one asks “what is in it for me” when we see kids playing outside until the street lights come back on, when video games and computers were only in the homes of the wealthy. When we wanted to know something we would ask the other person face to face and not via text. I am starting to believe that maybe that is an illusion that I will never see again.
