I am writing this post as I have witnessed an eternal sight of affection between two animals who are bitter enemies by nature, An abandoned kitty just a week old was being watered in a heavy rain in the middle of a country side road which is less busy. A stray dog seeing this took the kitty carefully to a nearby shade of a tree , covered it with leaves and grass to protect from rain;but the kitty was wagging behind the dog in love ;the dog trying to make the kitty safe. I saw this sitting in my car and was surprised of the affection and sense of love of that stray dog which we cannot find in the modern educated people.I felt that animals are far better than humans. On seeing this sight I felt disgusted and took the kitty to my home but the poor creature died after a week.

You nailed it - human nature is now lost cause, there is no going back, our world has gone to sh** basically. Good deeds still exist, but they are over shadowed by evil which is prominent and more evident.

Humans have evolved into selfish, greedy, evil, raging, mean creatures - I mean technology has taken over, now it is all about popularity, looks, lust, money, own interest and nothing more, in a world of HATE, whereas animals have remained true to themselves and have not gone the same route.

Mind you there are many stories too about dogs that turn against humans, chew them up, injure them, there is lots of that here unfortunately, but compared to human beings, they are generally more loving in all aspects.

Sadly, those good human beings left are usually isolated and unheard of, because they are left out, not being in the "norm" they are often the most sad people as they are rejected by society, therefore not in the spotlight. Should we blame the education system - YES - too much emphasis on teaching kids ridiculous topics most will probably never use anyway, wasting 2/3 of their life over learning nonsense, instead of being taught the true lessons of LIFE, EXPERIENCE and RESPECT for others, nope. Now you have teachers beating students, spitting on them, acting inappropriately, cussing at them, and basically exhibiting the same behaviours. That and coupled with horrible parenting, where kids witness their parents fight day and night, hit each other, cuss at each other, etc.

Those who have pets understand this more, how they are greeted and the affection they get when they arrive home, (I am not much of a pet person but I have witnessed the love and care from animals) - those who are into flowers and plants, they will always be there for you (with minimum care and love), up until the time they die ....... Humans are only "there" and care only as long as self interest is served....... TRUE love represents only a small minority of the human race unfortunately. And this whole corruption of human being is fueled by parenting, education system and large money interest corporations !!!

But it gets worse, even those kind, generous humans who help others before themselves, often get betrayed, let down and back stabbed in the end, despite that, they still keep on caring. It seems the nastiest of the human gene pool are getting it easy and successful in life whilst those who are the most deserving struggle the most and live a life of misery and despair.

yes darkstar humans had kindness in them earler that is the reason why this world is still there but modern people just serve humanity for fame and money .Everything has become business minded . changes should be brought in the present education system

What education system ? Nowadays you have students cussing, spitting, biting, beating up and shooting their teachers and class mates ! then you have teachers who deal with this crap, who already hate their jobs and get nervous breakdowns, beat their students, cuss at them, shoot them, etc, do you honestly think there is any hope for the education system ? There is only hope if there is evolution, unfortunately, humans are in a persistent state of decay.
Governments and authority wash their hands, then you have something called constitution and freedom, good luck with that

you said everything I wanted to say. The present education system everywhere is spoiling children as it has become more child centered. During my childhood I feared my parents , teachers , and elders and had respect towards them but now my children never fear me or their teachers as punishment is against law here . giving adequate punishment only can make a child a good citizen, which is my belief

Right, now kids hit their teachers with baseball bats, spit on them, etc, and the adults cannot lay a hand on the kids. A lot of the time the parents are accomplices and not any better, so you end up kids divorcing their parents, kids suing their parents, teachers, etc. What a society.

And it always annoys me to always here the protectors of the system say "Oh this is just isolated cases, everything is fine, you only hear the bad stuff in media" bla bla bla ALL of teachers that I know, NONE of them have anything positive to say, in general teachers are exhausted and tired of dealing with this crap on a daily basis, and all share the opinion that things are getting worse, far worse in schools. It's not all about school shootings, but how kids behave in class. You have kids, teens, students chewing gum loudly, listening to music, putting their feet on desk, sleeping or fooling around and not paying attention, and yet you have teachers who are just indifferent and look the other way, because they know that if they dare say something they might get punched, stabbed or shot. Right, not every student in the education is like that, but do you take chances ? Sometimes the quiet ones and the best students are the most dangerous and harbor a monster within.

Another thing that's wrong with this messed up education system - the material they teach kids. BORING, senseless and outdated crap they will NEVER use in their lifetime, wasting 2/3 of their bloody life to learning fluff !! It's time we start teaching kids about actual LIFE, true experiences, what really matters, stuff they will actually use and find useful later in life. If they want to study a specific field, they will have a chance to do so later in higher education.......

The system should teach kids about responsibility, RESPECT, the common things they will be doing in life, first, then they can learn about math, geometry, philosophy and other crap. Remove all the fluff, and just keep essentials, kids should know minimum history of course, as a lot don't even know the basics :/ How many Americans can point to their state on a map ! D Perhaps if we teach kids early on about life in a proper education system, they will be better voters later

In regards to school, all that went out when they removed the big book.
You might disagree but I believe it to be so. The big book has many lessons
and whether you agree with everything in or not, there is many good
teachings such as obeying your parents and your elders and everything
a well behaved child should be and as well as a respectable caring human
being.

The big book says If you turn against the word, you will see chaos.

That is all I have to say.

They should have a big book alone on respecting authority, your parents and the elderly, because this lacks big time. I have seen the way some kids talk back to elders in public transportation it is disgusting. I witnessed once a lady of a certain age politely asking a kid for his seats, and the kid uttered that she sat there in this + followed by a word starting with m and ending with g, + the word seat.

So now you have teachers letting their students play candy crushers during class or listening to their music, yep no problem, because teachers know that if they interfere, it will mostly likely end up with a crime. This is not normal :/
Who wants to be a teacher now ?

Same for bus drivers, there was a time where they would argue and throw you out if you did not pay your passage, but nowadays you see more of them being asked to look the other way to avoid confrontations which would cost the company more money and liability. Over here we do not have protective doors in public transportation, unlike some coutnries / states........so if people want to get a good idea on today's generation all they need to do is take public transportation and observe.

Oh yeah this is not to say that elderly people are always better, I have actually seen some people of certain ages who appear to be stuck in their childhood and act the same way and talk the same way, have actually seen elderly cuss out at kids too for no reason, so yeah that does not help matters. Kids "pick up" how society talks, how their parents talk at home, how their peers talk and how the elders talk ........ Some of the conversations you hear nowadays are cringe worthy, and very uncomfortable to listen to - don't need to spell it out the type of things people talk about, LOUDLY on public transportation, just as if they were at home alone ........

But it's ok, government is too busy researching that chocolate bar factory on Mars, so they have no money left to spend on Youth and education, nope, what are you talking about

Right now there is a new trend - kids are learning at an early age that they can change their gender anytime. So on Monday if boy wants to become a girl, it's ok, no problem. Maybe on Wednesday they can change back to boy, no problem. They can even choose to be BOTH, why not, diversity right ?

So all this thing about manners, respect, etc, went out the doors, priorities are placed elsewhere now, and now you have kids raising their parents AND teachers.......

respect and obedience to elders are essential credentials for a better life. but now a days these are rare and we can see the after effects of these faults

yes valerie I agree with you.Nnow moral values are gaining less priority in this modern technological world ;and my ambition is that the big book should be brought back to make good personalities.
