Where have the times gone?

Before I begin, I would like to take this moment to wish everypony a happy and healthy Thanksgiving.

 

As we are all aware, the holidays are indeed upon us, and usually that means we often get too see the true generosity, peace and happiness within others. It's the time of year that usually lets us see the best of others.

 

I'm noticing more and more, that as a whole we are changing, and it's headed in a trend that's not too promising, to say the least.

 

It seems as if we are becoming less and less, shall we say, substance-esque. What I mean by that is, we are becoming less and less real, genuine and original. Zombies comes to mind, in the sense that less and less consideration is taken with anything. Families, for instance, are less connected and bonded with each other, again so to speak, than eras prior. Part of it, is the ever increasing independence we face each and every day.

 

However, part of it is how we are influenced, and choose to be influenced by the outside world. The garbage media, politics, the evolution of industry and manufacturing, the technology... it all is impacting us negatively. It is creating a world of inconsiderate, antisocial, artificial beings that call themselves "genuine."

 

It's clear as day though such simple things as social interactions; something that I would now consider a lost art, seeing that folks would rather stare at a screen, then look across the table at their friend, their loved one, their significant other, etc. Seeing folks waste their time on social media outlets, just to find a false sense of attention and gratification. Basically, folks are wasting their valuable, important time, on unimportant stuff. And they wonder why they never have time to get the important stuff done. I WONDER WHERE IT WENT?!

 

It's as if we have forgotten how to properly respect, treat, and care for others. It's sickening, it's ridiculous, and a change needs to be made.

 

Call me old school, call me behind the times, call me whatever you feel like. Yeah, I miss the culture of years before, I miss the way society used to operate, and I miss how we all used to be. I can see it, I can admit it, and I can understand it.
