Well As the title suggests this is a post about a lot of nothing...I just thought that it is a good time to sit down and write for a moment or two...
I have been finding myself increasingly irritated by the way things are going in this world and longing for the good old days when life was simple and no one had excuses why they could not lend a helping hand to others...Back in the day when getting what you needed was simplified by the fact that most bartered with each other...ya know like you called the doctor and he came no matter the time of day or whether or not you could pay him...and if all you had was a dozen eggs you could trade them for his services and he would be glad to take them...A time when people really cared about those around them and if someone came on hard times the community would get together and do everything in their power to make sure the needs of that person or family were met...A time when taking a walk in the woods was a safe endeavor and when kids could run to the store for a treat and you knew they would get there and back safely because your neighbors all knew you and your family and they always watched out for one another...A time when if someone new came into town they were wrapped in warm and welcome feelings from the people in the town...A time when trust came first and anger and violence was avoided as much as absolutely possible...A time when people would strive to be the best neighbor and friend instead of the richest man in town...It was a time of hard work and pride in a job well done but if your neighbor had an accident leaving them unable to do their chores the neighbors all pitched in to get it done...it was a time when good and bad were felt and dealt with together as a community and no one was left on their own to deal with things that are hard to handle...when the safety net was everyone around you not just one or two...Don't get me wrong I do know that there were bad people back then as there is now but the good people were not afraid to get involved in stopping them...We had morals and we lived by them...
Today the way that I see it we have lost our morals, we live in a dog eat dog world and no one cares what happens to the guy next door and seldom they don't even know their neighbors name...So many are now so preoccupied chasing after a dollar bill that they ignore or miss the best things in life...
