Reply #6: Homelessness and death.... [View All]

This is my first statement ever posted on an forum pertaining to my concerns for my generation. I believe the one of the reasons things have gotten so bad is because people are no longer acting within the values and morals we have unfortunately lost throughout time. Not to say the original ones were perfect or acurrate, and that could be very well the reason that we have lost them. It seems as though people have traded morality for physical satisfaction. Anyway, I am having to reply to a forum in order to post something, until I have built a reputation within democraticunderground.com. My main question for the day is why do we (human nature) care so much about the welfare of other people. Is it because we actually connect and sympathize with the one who has lost, or is it because have been taught that it is heartless not to. Therefore, when someone has lost, in order to make things easier for the them, we just simply answer with sympathy? Or do we just like to give the impression that we care? I would like to know your thoughts on the subject.
