I’m not sure if any of you “older people” have noticed, but I have noticed that the twenty-somethings and younger don’t show respect to anyone. Social amenities are a thing of the past. “Respect your elders”, “Customer is always right”, “May I help you?” “Please”, “Thank you”, “Yes Ma’am”, “No sir”. I don’t hear them anymore. My children say these things, but I stressed that it was important. People don’t accept responsibility for what they say and do. It’s always someone elses fault, but theirs. Accountability. It’s not being taught. Our society is raising a bunch of people who aren’t accountable. Look at society, the young people don’t want to work for anything, they wanted it handed to them. They want a big house now. A big car…now! No value for hard work, no value for life and just do your part of the job, nothing more and they feel entitled to that pay check. The kids don’t want to work their way up, they want that high paying job now. What they are missing is that everything belongs to God, everything. We are blessed to be here, but it all belongs to Him. We are accountable to Him. We owe everything to Him. There is no “mine”, it is “His”. If what we do doesn’t glorify Him, we are spitting on the sacrifice that His Son, Jesus made for us. I’m done kvetching now!
