Confounds and Confuses Me

Why do people refuse to be nice to each other this is what confounds and confuses me the most especially in these times of ever growing technology social graces have gone out the door so much so that people hardly chat anywhere other than online pleasant people are the anomaly if you get to see people’s eyes at all usually a vacant and blank stare is what you see Even people as they approach their final curtains don’t even seem to be conscious of their greedy self-centered inconsiderate and uncaring selfish manners beyond excuse do they really believe it’s too late to change their ways and gamble they won’t have to atone some day soon for their miserable attitudes Apathy has become a trend that appalls and behooves me Submitted on July 1, 2018 for contest QUIRKY THINGS THAT CONFOUND AND CONFUSE ME sponsored by CAREN KRUTSINGER - RANKED 1ST

Look to the immigrants!! Many of them, at least in the USA, still hold on to the "social graces"---every if they have one smartphone in each pocket. That's been my experience, anyway. :) gw

True - good point, Gershon. It's lovely when they come over with the most charming parts of their culture.
