Where is the LOVE??????

Gone are the days when it took a village to raise a CHILD. . . . But rather today communities believe bad kids are has a result of bad parenting. Gone are the days when I could knock on a neighbor's door at any hour when I run out of salt, with confidence that the door would be wide opened and the salt granted. Oh gone are the days when we would walk to our friends homes to find out how they were really doing. . . Instead we would rather facebook them, then act like we just got the shock of our lives when we find out the person we facebook yesterday and told us they were okay just killed themselves. Long gone are the days when someone else's pain mattered enough to us, that we could put our own lives on hold to be there for them. . . But today the 'ONE MAN 4 HIMSELF' policy does seem apply to everyone. I can only wonder what our Ancestors are thinking. . . What happend to community values?. And am certain if God didnt what us to depend on each other for support he would have put each one of us on different islands.

  1. well thought mate. we are stranded in a world where the social network has taken over all interaction. as I agree with you on this matter, I am using these mediums that have robbed us of a culture that respects intermingling. :'(
