For the longest time I have been taught to put others before myself, treat others how you wish to be treated, be humble when praised, and respectful of not only elders but of contribution to a cause as well as others you are surrounded by whether they are mere acquaintances or good friends. Obviously this is not the case in modern society...
We now live in a world of backstabbing social climbers whose ignorance is thriving with bittersweet friends and foe.
Personally i have experienced punishment which most definitely does not fit the crime as well as a complete lack of 'friends' when in times of need and an abundance of 'friends' when times are peachy. I have also experienced lack of credit where it is due, whether it be dance choreography, assignments, work sales or suggestions.
Many of you are probably sitting here with your backsides starting to numb as i complain about the way society is turning for the worse - my sincere apologies... (get my drift???).
Not only is there global warming and an upcoming recession... but there is no one to turn to when all the glaciers have melted and our dollar is worth less than nothing!
Where are the days of neighbourhood support, or new friends are silver but old friends are gold???
These days, credit is no longer given when something has been greatly accomplished or a mass load of effort has been contributed.
Is it an arrogance thing? do people feel that if they praise you, you will feel better than them or they feel less than you? or is it because they know you are better than them and they don't you or anyone else to notice?
Is it a careless thing? do people seriously not care about the achievements of fellow humans, colleagues and friends?
It seems that it is only the negative publicity and aspects of life that are noticed and spoken of in todays society...

Lovely to hear from you.
Sounds like you were well brought up.
looking forward to more.
PS can you turn the word verification off.
Hey there sweety!
You know I totally agree with you. I was brought up the same way and it really annoys me how a lot of people today are only interested in getting ahead of the pack no matter what, damn social climbers, they just don't care about anyone but themselves!!!!
And dude, if you have such so called 'friends' in your life that aren’t there for you when you really need them, then I say toss em! Don't let people treat you like crap because life is supposed to be fun and happy chappy! And remember that I’m always here for you darl face.
Take care. xoxoxox
