The disappearance of common courtesy.

Is there such thing as common courtesy anymore? What does it take to do something out of respect for others or just because its the right thing to do? Family members or close friends are in need, so you do for them just as you would want them to do for you. Take time to visit or just be there for them if something needs done. Where has the consideration for others gone to?

Is it laziness, a lack of teaching, or is it disrespect, or maybe they just not care? Sometimes I think our lives are just way too busy or we allow that business to interfere with being there for others. I don't really have the answer but I know that this is a problem that seems to be everywhere.

I guess I am getting old or it just seems that lots of things are bothering me lately. My attitude is not very good during times like this and I get a bit irritated. There are times when I want to say things but I don't, out of respect. When it comes to my kids I say something and it comes back to bite me in the rear. So I vent my frustrations in my blog.

What does it take to be a little bit more considerate? The truth is, not much. Just stop what we are doing and take the time to look out for the other person instead of just meeting our own needs. Its not all about you or me its about everyone.
