Morals...

Okay, I understand what age we live in and maybe, I don't know how this could be, but MAYBE I am just old fashioned.... but

Most of my friends are from all over the world, and I mean ALL over (Serbian, Cambodian, Ethiopian, Middle Eastern, Somalian, Chines, Japanese, Persian, French, English...) and most of them have pretty good moral backgrounds. I am sorry, but for most, and I am not saying all,  people who grew up in the United States, what happened to your morals??

Honestly, coming from a different country into this one, is one hell of a trip. Here, people can't WAIT to stab you in the back, to hurt you, to be better then you, to do anything they can do to make your life.... WORSE?!.. I am at a loss for words at some things I see when we go out... Girls going home with guys that they just met?? umm wtf? People getting drunk and waisted every singe night?? Best friends getting into brutal fights and never speaking again ( what kind of "friends" were you in the first place?) Guys having absolutely NO respect for any girl that walks by? People getting divorced after 10 years of marriage because someone didn't pay a bill on time? People cheating on each other, lying, all the drugs, all the psychos, all the insane things happening... I can't be the only one that is weirded out by this!!!

Our society is literally based on nothing but lies. Even when you go to a store and try to buy something, look at the tricky ways people try to sell it to you. Everyone is so SELFISH, only looking out only for themselves. Look at how corporations are built, who benefits from them, who gets screwed. Look at all the Internet fraud, all the bank robberies, all the murders for no reason, all the child abuse, just everything!!!

What happened to relationships? What happened to actually respecting anther person for who they are, having compassion, being there for somebody because they NEED you not because it looks good and because you have nothing better to do. What happened to offering a helping hand to a random person, instead of looking at them and judging them on every single flaw they have, as if you don't have your own... What happened to people respecting themselves, knowing and being confident in what they deserve?

This society is so fucked up, it is more likely that a married couple will get divorced and then get re-married after a month to someone else, then it is for people stay together and work through their problems. It is more likely that you will get cheated on and treated like dirt in your relationships then to be respected and loved for who you are. It is more likely that you will get your life ruined by drugs and alcohol and all the other things, then it is for you to become successful. It just drives me absolutely mad to see all of these things start becoming the "norm", and to feel like I am the outsider because none of it makes sense to me...

I just had to get that off my chest...
