I read this very poignant NY Times article - Won't You Be My Neighbor by Peter Lovenheim that reiterated thoughts that I have seldom echoed on this journal. Basically, that this is a loveless keep-to-yourself-do-not-care-selfish society. Even when I lived in surburbian Georgia, people always sort of kept to themselves to the point that if you screamed, no one will run out to help you. No one would even bat an eyelid. They simply do not care enough to disrupt their morning coffee. Have we all become "God's madmen?"With all the advent of Internet blogging and communities (Facebook, Myspace, etc), we are all so eager to make friends online, with people we cannot see, while the ones right in front of us are in dire need of an outstretched hand.
Hello / Goodmorning....seems like a thing of the past.
