thekibagami: I have noticed people are getting more shallow and dumber. They remind me of the filth I went to high school with staff and student alike. I have always had hi standard of character for the people I hang around with. and I have never compromised that And have spent most of my adult life single because of it. I stopped dating when i was 22 after more drama and loss than any one should have to deal with now i'm 38 and trying again and it has not changed for the better, infact it gotten worse or is it just me is there hope or should I tell the world to piss of and go hermit in the woods for the rest of my life. I have never been good with people and the hermit in me wants out. I might just listen to him
I think you have a point, my friend.
Perhaps people are becoming more "shallow" as we don't feel the same reliance as we did on the rest of our communities. We believe ourselves to be entirely self-sufficient and independent?
As for "dumber", education is not perceived as important as it once was because many children and teens are of the attitude that one just needs to acquire enough money when older and become a "Donald Trump" or celebrity is the only life worth having....
I admire you remaining resolute in the standard of the company you keep but I do believe compromise is all important. I believe its increasing rigidity that is causing so many problems....
And, as someone, remarked..... "no man is an island". So true!

Life certainly is a learning curve, without hot we cannot judge cold. Took a long time to sort some my stuff out to (some still ongoing) however it appears to me while our mind is focused outside of ourselves, there isn't any space for self pity. Therefore the more we focus on benefiting others the less suffering we our selves experience.
The practice I've tried to run with, is a two fold path e.g. important to still the mind and the gaining of understanding part.
Like the skins of an onion, ever deeper levels of stuff we are able to gain knowledge of by observing our mind.
Again thank you for your comments...

cmc123: Of course there is always hope. And you know this, or you wouldn't still be here with us.
