It seems to me that the world is turning into a bunch of selfish bastards.  Sorry to be so blunt, but it's true.  I'm becoming increasingly frustrated with just how self absorbed people are becoming.  No one seems to give a damn about anyone but themselves. If you pay attention, I'm sure you'll see it too.  

When is the last time you went to the store and saw parents letting their kids run amuck tearing things up and leaving messes for the minimum wage employees to clean up?  How many people do you know who have cheated on their spouses? Do you know someone who is stealing from their company?  How many people do you know who cheat on their taxes?  My list can go on here.

Did any of that apply to you?  If so, then you need to stop being an asshole.  The world doesn't revolve around you and it's important you know that you are being a nuisance. Do you know someone like this? If so, I can only recommend that you distance yourself from them as far as you can.  If they are willing to compromise their morals in one area of their life, what makes you think they won't throw you under the bus as soon as it benefits them?  

I'm not trying to push some sort of stupid unicorns pooping lolipops fantasy land where everyone loves each other.  I just want people to be more respectful of others.  Sure, being selfish is a good way to get something in the short term.  In the long run, all it will do is piss everyone off around you and make you die a lonely person.  Think about that for a while.  

Are you willing to "stick it to the man" when you do your taxes just to save a few bucks?  I'm sure that you'll be the very one bitching about your kid's school not running the buses because they have no funding to pay for fuel.  It all comes around full circle and it's going to bite you in the ass eventually.  We all need to give a lot and take a little.  Today it's the other way around and people are just too dependant on getting things for little to nothing.

I don't believe in moral gray areas.  Things are either right or wrong.  If something doesn't feel right, chances are it's because it isn't right.  I do my best to take care of my friends and family.  I try to treat strangers with respect in hopes that they will do the same.  If I took part in some of the things I see happening around me, I would be downright embarrassed. People nowadays just need a little more humility and a lot more honesty.
