This is an old Zoltar Speaks! blog post.
Abounding failures of modern society, education, and morals!
I find myself having to absolutely force myself to apply the Julie Principle more and more in to day’s politically charged world especially when close friends and family members are spouting one rationalization after another, ends justifies the means arguments, and issuing solid #9 and #10 apologies (Apology Scale). Am I adapting to society and becoming PC soft?
What has happened to people in our society that so many people really can’t understand just how illogical and irrational their arguments are and how terribly insincere their apologies come across? Is this a parenting issue; did the greatest generation and the baby boom generation fail our children and those parenting failures are being passed down to their children? There are so many stupid and/or blindly ignorant people shouting nonsense at the top of their lungs; my children and grandchildren are not like this.
I’m loosing any faith that any of this can be turned around in my lifetime. I think the irrational mentality we are seeing is a cancer, it’s ignorantly being enabled, and it’s going to get much worse.
