Compassion: A dwindling commodity? (26)
We are forced to be like this. We are made to conform. Our goevrnments change the laws The psychologists and Dr set the standards. The PC brigade set the agendas. Everyone wants to be liked so they follow. The hard liners get beaten and broken.

We cannot be forced to do anything or be anything that we don't somehow want to be...As within, so without.

[First Man:] I think, I think I am, therefore I am, I think.
Of course you are my bright little star,
I've miles
And miles
Of files
Pretty files of your forefather's fruit
and now to suit our
great computer,
You're magnetic ink.
[First Man:] I'm more than that, I know I am, at least, I think I must be.
[Inner Man:] There you go man, keep as cool as you can.
Face piles
And piles
Of trials
With smiles.
It riles them to believe
that you perceive
the web they weave
And keep on thinking free.
So, I will choose to smile, and think free, and show compassion where I may.
Kindness may be perceived as weakness, but cruelty is never perceived as strength...

This is so true and glad you reminded me.
I recall a documentary on the Teddy Boys I think that was back in the 50s. They were deemed to be the end of society.
Then the Eighties with the Punk rockers and football Hooliganism at its hieght. Again it was deem ed that society as we knew it was at an end.
Today i complain about how kids behave and there lack of respect. But they ain't no punk rockers and i doubt they are Teddy boys.

Reminds me of my punk days, and my dad's lack of reaction...
When asked, he said shaving my hair wasn't anymore radical than him growing it in his day...
Yep...I'm not cool anymore, I guess...because I can keep a thought in my head for more than 30 seconds

Any of us who want to step off the conveyor and go backwards to a time when respect was paramount; get shunned and rejected. We aren't PC.
I understand your post Galactic but we made this Society.
It can be changed but do you want to try?.
Not me I think it is too late to go backwards. I will just follow and bemoan as the world goes forward. For I fear jail if I tried to turn the clock back. So I will do my time in the community than behind four walls.
