What's Happened?

What contributes to the disposition of people that makes them think they need not manners? Do they just think they are better than I or do they lack even the smallest ability to think? Why, when approached, do they speak looking away, rather than looking in one’s eyes? Why, when someone’s working in their yards do they not offer up some water to drink? The moral digression of the average person is speeding at speeds that makes me cry. As curses are hurled throughout every language, almost as if like water they flow. Well, my children, they are taught to respect their elders and laws and so much more. For the adults that they one day become, will be based on what they learned and now know. Come on folks, think!
