In today's society where we have everything made easy and at our disposal, and are so liberated; I'm constantly asking myself is it a good thing? I have noticed that when we as a society think that it doesn't matter whether or not we offend other people, that's when we start to loose respect not only for ourselves but for society as a whole. When you are free to say eat your chicken and chips on public transport; should that also give you the right to leave your chicken and chips on the bus when there are hundreds of dustbins about? This is not only offensive, but also asks the question do you care about your society. We need to be more caring. Are we also becoming more reclusive, and is it a good thing to be this way? Are we also becoming less fitter and healthier and also loosing the ability to develop relationships? Is the habit of sitting on a chair and using our computers and watching our TV's a substitute for friends; is it having an impact on our lives in such a detrimental way that we have become oblivious too? It's all very well if you're the type of person who has a healthy social life and have not lost the ability to bond with others. But with a 3rd of the population living single lives; it's hardly surprising the way we're organizing our lives seems to becoming more and more reclusive. Today you probably would only get to know your next door neighbour when his house is burning down, is that fair?
