Old values

What is wrong in this world today where a person walking down the street, minding their own business is shoved out of the way by a person walking behind them. Why? because the front person walked slower.

Then the provocotour showers the first person with so much abuse that person is near enough reduced to tears. Now if it had been a crowded street, maybe they had an excuse but a wide, and I do mean wide pedestrian precinct, almost empty bar a few people is no excuse.

And to do it from behind, blindsiding the person is unforgiveable but thats the age we live in.

An age where no one stands on a bus if its full and a young woman or older is standing for the whole journey. Where old dears think they have more priority to get on a bus than a young mum carrying bags and a child.
 
Is that really how rude society has become ??
 
We teach our kids to be poilte, say their pleases and thank yous, to be respectful of their elders, helpful to their elders, helpful to their neighbours. We tell them to do their best, try hard and great things will happen for them.
 
We teach them to never break promises, make their words match their actions and they will go far. Their friends will find them trustworthy, my word is my bond and so on...
 
But why these days is it that this kind of person is in the minority??
 
Its all too easy for people to just go F*** You and do what they want, put themselves first irrespective of the damage it causes, the promises they break, or the damage being shoved out of the way does to a person. Being physically man handled is as bad as being let down, or someone being rude towards you.
 
Maybe I just expect high standards too much. If I do it, then I expect others to do it also and I'm dissapointed when they dont. Now before people jump on the band wagon, its not all youngsters. Ive witness the same kind of rude behaviour by middle aged folks, and pensioners. Its not an age thing its a society. Pretty much proof that this big society stuff doesnt work in wider circles.
 
Okay rant over LOL and the person who was shoved out of the way, well she shrugged it off but is there any physical damage... well its too early to tell Im still too sore and stiff to tell !!
