A Morality Deprived Generation

A lot of things have provoked me to write about this. One mainly is the state of current events. Another is my study of history, and still another reason is my faith. I'm addressing our youth, our generation, and the generations that are past.

If you ask a 60 year about their school years they will tell you about passing notes, bringing candy to school, and getting chalk dust everywhere while slamming two erasers together. If you ask a 40 year old what their school years were like they will tell you about blowing gum in class, whispering to their neighbor, and being "reckless" on the playground. If you ask an 18 year old what their school years were like they will tell you about seeing people sexually harassed, drug trips, and partying that always ended in disgorging.

What is that?

How can it be that in under twenty-five years our expectations have dropped so dramatically? What happened to children who got in trouble for name calling? This is not only happening in the high schools, but the elementary school as well. I mean look at this article, it's devastating. http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/nationworld/2018003754_handcuffs18.html

However, when I look at all this I think to myself:  If in twenty five years it has come to this, than I can only (try not to) imagine what our morals will be in 2037.

Well there you go. You needn't pay a dime for my thoughts, this is what's on my mind.
