honestly:
when our concept of beauty is reduced to something that can now be
manufactured (literally making beauty to something merely skindeep);
when positions and offices are handed out to just about anyone regardless of lack of qualification or merit;
when anything - be it food, music or sex - are available on demand without need of effort and without consequences;
when information is there to be cut and pasted rather than learned;
when anybody can freely express their opinions and at the same time
excuse themselves from responsibility for their comments by claiming
lack of expertise or knowledge on the subject;
when people
prefer listening to someone because he poses no threat to their egos
rather than to one who actually knows what he's talking about;
when going to new places is for purposes of posting pictures on social media rather than gain new experiences and perspectives;
when 'first class' is reduced to a mere ticket in an airplane;
when one's word, actions, achievements carry no weight or significance;
when traditions are there to be merely ridiculed;
when (in the name of social justice) people are encouraged to break laws with impunity;
when gaining applause or acceptance in social media is more valued than working at being a better person -
honestly, is this any way for a people to live?
