SELFISHNESS:THE DECLINE OF THE CIVILIZED WORLD

After ENVY, SELFISHNESS would have to be the ugliest and most destructive of the human character traits. After envying another for what they have or who they are, being self obssesed(narcsisistic to the extreme)or self absorbed individuals produce very chaotic and unstable environments. SELFISHNESS is a key mover in destroying a society. There are so many vulnerable groups in our society of which it is our duty and responsability to look out for those individuals. They are children, from infancy to schoolage/a time of guiding and teaching for healthy development and a balanced life. The preteens, they need to be prepared and taught skills of social etiquette,and communication and for managing and coping with LIFE! Then our teenagers, the age we come to know everything, but seemingly learn nothing from our elders(generalizing, of course)the most dangerous of developmental stages because the stakes were never that high, the consequences are often irrevokable! We live in a society where adults are terrified of the teenagers, whether their own or someone elses;and truthfully, who can blame them? This Triple XXX generation has pumped out some of the most violent, promiscuous, self-loathing, self-indulged young adults;with a sense of entitlement which would rival that of the French Aristocracy! Lacking motivation and a true sense of purpose(which no matter how many friends on Facebook you have = no purpose, except for people to envy those who have the most)this generation has been exposed to media and advertisers messages that "It's all about you! If it feels good, do it? What consequences, live for the moment?" and those messages take on all forms. But where the idea of SELFISHNESS has driven through is in human intamacy. Being reduced to less loving than animals, the instant gratification, the porno machine;the powerful monster in the room people are reluctant to talk about....but when it comes to our children...THAT IS A DEADLY MISTAKE! The fact that the need to talk about it is so DIRE/URGENT, in itself signifies how far gone it is. The availability of it on the internet, is something even the wisest of us could have not predicted....but the fact that children are abducted, tortured, raped and enslaved in order to make this possible is INCOMPREHENSIBLE!UNACCEPTABLE! And except for a small percentage of strong and active voices, the problem grows uglier by the minute yet silence remains painfully in place! Teenagers need to know how to respect the opposite sex and develop meaningful friendships thus one day leading to finding their true love(and I know most of them through experience believe that only happens in Fairytales). Now I'm not naiive and know that it is certainly not common but Fairytales are not the only place for the expressions of true love. They do happen on this earth and they do originate from our creator and there is tragedy, but to LOVE, to truly LOVE another soul as the other half of yours, now that is one of the most self-less things one can do! lookfor part II tomorrow:Me,myself and I!
