Say I'm old fashioned say I'm over the hill

I don't care...if being old fashioned means believing in being there for eachother and helping one another then I guess I am a relic It seems as though couples don't even hold hands anymore.....whats going on? Are we afraid of touching each other unless it is for s*xual purposes?

It is called "hooking up" ....makes me think of being "hooked up" to a life support machine in the hospital...barely alive barely breathing. It used to be called "going together" guess that has changed. We are now "hooked up" I guess. If two people are completely independent of one another where is the passion, intensity and depth in that??

If two people are only together out of convenience and because it is "easy" and they don't have to give anything in a relationship then it would seem to me more like a business partnership...where is the romance the needing? Shouldn't it be about the joy of giving to one another?

Whatever happened to doing kind things for one another man and woman? Has basic humane kindness become a "weakness" or something insincere used to manipulate one another rather than a way to lift one another up and a way to help each other through this journey we call life? If this is what has become of us I would rather be alone . Why would any of us want to search for someone special? What? you say companionship? Thats all? Isn't that the only thing that pets have to offer? and shouldn't humans be able to offer a bit more?
