  you know that it is one thing to be noble in thought. and another to not be able to afford to be noble in thought. the people you may be aggrevated with may be clever enough, fortunate enough, lucky enough or wise enough to see enough to see that such disrespect as you call it is really not worth it. most really are more concerned getting through. all this selfishness is only a way of survival. http://sunilssongs.blogspot.com/2006/03/around-here.html the song lyric in the above link kind of balance the whole idea out

  i know what you mean mate... society is on its way down. i go to a religous school and although im not religous i still have enough respect to honour those who do. during prayer and weekly chapel service i stay silent while they prey, i don't talk like others do. i feel like slapping them and shouting "have you no respect". but alas i stay quiet and bide my tounge. who is at fault?

  At the end of the day, you live and then you die. People dont seem to realise that it dosnt realy matter what other people do as long as you live your life the way you choose. Be indipendant and just accept that some people will always only care for themselves. In that sense you need to rise above it, dont associate with people that act in a way that you dont like. Its that simple. I meet people everyday that piss me off but I just make a mental note that they pissed me off and dont bother with them again.

  I agree lairorgat, there is a serious lack of respect in our world. Everyone is looking for their piece of the pie. It gets ridiculous pretty quick - people cut around you in traffic just to get to their destination about...5 seconds sooner. We all meet people that we'd like to kill. Or at least, avoid for the rest of our days. SGenius is right, we all must realize that some people will only care for themselves. Think of it this way though: if we avoid those people and leave them alone, and do what we think is right, then aren't we only caring for ourselves, too? I believe that the answer is to give a damn for all people regardless. If we treat our friends, important people that can reward us, and our families in a good way, and avoid every selfish person we meet, we just let the problem grow. Every selfish person I've met has been hurt deeply in some way. If we treat them badly, what benefit is there in that? To us AND the selfish pricks? Love everyone regardless of how they treat you, and it will bring respect from others. It helps solve the problem you're talking about. It is "the hard way", because you can just go on loving only the people who love you, but we spread love to the unlovable by being loving to everyone. It's not easy, but it's a challenge to everyone to rise above the selfishness.

  I agree that you should help people that want to be helped but I dont think you would go up to a mugger and ask if you could help him heal his "inner pain". If you feel that the person wants to be helped then give it a go, but dont spend all your life doing it becasue in the end you dont get extra time on the planet just because you helped someone. Experiance everything life has to offer, dont spend all your time experiancing one thing for your whole life.

  I think that everyone sees from their own perception, and that's the only perception you realy ever get to see from. So what works for one may not work for the other. Selfishness. In my opinion we're all selfish. We all do things for our self in one way or another. Even helping others...people say they do it because it makes them feel good seeing others feel good. It's still done with a thread of selfishness in it. I don't think our planet's on a decline. I think we see what we want to see, and if we dwell to hard on something it's bound to up and choke us. This is just my opinion though. I am sure many would disagree, but that's the beauty of opinions.

  I really know what you are complaining about, unfortunately it's way easier to deal with people using false respect. Often even those who would love to give others true respect and help each other out can't afford the risk of getting exposed in front of people who might be "just like all the rest". Hopefully mankind will evolve in the next millenium or so. Hopefully i'll still be alive!! Yeah right..
