Endless sea of strangers flowing through the airport’s crowded corridors… televisions, monitors, radios, conversations…noisy silence … the news attracted my attention…same topics…so many views…none right or wrong…perspectives lost in an ocean of information…
It occurred to me we live in a world lacking personal responsibility and commonsense…important qualities for the survival of our species…centuries perfecting our survival… lost in a moment…sad…scary…
Since when we needed to be told that HOT coffee is hot…it burns…what makes anyone believe that holding hot coffee between their legs will be safe…blame the company, the servers when they burned…commonsense and personal responsibility are lost… everyone else is responsible…
Since when contracting a disease while working in a hospital is responsibility of the institution… accept forgetting not to touch their faces, wash their hands, or wear their full face masks allowing vulnerability… commonsense and personal responsibility are lost… everyone else is responsible…
Since when the government was responsible of rescuing adults whom decided to risk their lives in foreign lands… unknown cultures, language barriers, war zones…charity begins at home… there is hunger, homelessness, gang wars in our backyards…helping overseas gives fame and recognition…helping at home gives only anonymity… personal responsibility is lost…everyone else is responsible…
Since when being killed while committing a crime was someone else’s fault…it was a choice to break the law…time to pay the piper when being caught…endless choices…stay home, get a job, study, help others… “My baby was kill,” not a baby, a criminal was caught breaking the law…personal responsibility is lost… everyone else is responsible…
Since when to kill was the only response to stop a criminal… shoot hands, legs, even tase… taking a live should be a last resource… commonsense and personal responsibility are lost… everyone else is responsible…
Blame someone else…never face the consequences… Today’s society lacks commonsense and personal responsibility vital qualities for the survival of our species… missing … depressing… frightening … everyone else is responsible…
