Okay it's been a while since I last wrote on this thing, I'll admit it was both laziness and a lack of something to write about that has kept me from it. But I've found something so here you go :P
In general I've noticed a sharp decline in manners, politeness, and general human decency towards our fellow man. The concept of saying "please" and "thank you" is no longer a common thought for someone when a kind deed has been done for them, or when looking for help from another person. Patience also seems to be gone too. In this modern world where we're told we have to be in a rush, we've now lost our respect for each other and stopped caring.
An example for you: Recently I was at a shop, and I was at the front of the line at the counter. I had my stuff that I wanted to buy on the countertop, and the guy behind the counter was getting something for me. Then this other guy who had been in the que behind me comes up to where I'm still waiting and puts all his stuff on top of mine, as if I'm not there...
I don't know about you, but for me that is annoying. If somehow that guy is now reading this blog I can tell you that I wasn't going to take long, and that because you were in the que in the 1st place, you were definately going to be served soon. If there was a fire or some emergency in the shop, you would not be thinking about skipping the que, you'd be trying to get out of the building. So this example proves how the modern day person has lost basic manners, patience and politeness. And I'm sure you would have your own examples of this happening to you too in your life. If you want you can leave them in my comment box.
Now this is simple and straight forward, if you can change one thing about yourself, then change the way you treat the other people you meet in life. If you ask for something, say "please" (it won't kill you to do that) and when you get it say "thank you" or "thanks" (and even if you don't get what you asked for say thanks anyways because they could have tried their best to do what you asked).
