There was a time when a man’s word was his bond, and a woman’s virginity meant something. Nowadays, such things are scoffed at or totally ignored as important.
Our political leaders cannot be trusted to hold any Public Office, and whatever they promise to deliver is as hollow as bamboo. But we are stuck with them, because this is how the world works currently.
Our religious leaders and priests are also false, pedophiles, rapists, and adulterers dominate ALL religious institutions globally. And some have taken on the role of a God or Dictator over their people.
Our parents, guardians, and siblings have also lost all credibility when it comes to personal responsibility, accountability, and budgeting. Greed, envy, avarice, and jealousy, overwhelm our family relations and relationships.
Friendship does not mean anything anymore. At least not the interpretation from the days of Yore that said, True friendship requires trust, self-lessness, sharing, love, and acceptance.
Finally, today I share the view of a pessimist who said long ago, “the more I know of people, the more I love my dogs.”
This attitude is growing on me daily.
