Why?

I find myself asking the question "Why?" a lot lately...

Our world seems to be changing, and not necessarily for the good either. I have seen firsthand that what was "tabu" in the past in now acceptable... and I ask myself, "Why?"

What makes one person's or a group's "right" more acceptable or condoned than another's?

What changed to make it okay in a job/career to drop the ball, and other's pay for the thoughtless actions of other's acceptable?

Who believes that being down right rude and hurtful is acceptable and okay just because "they can" ?

Seriously, our world is falling apart... and it is doing so at the detriment to everything and everyone living on it... WHY?

What the heck is "politically correct" anyway... what ever happened to being "moral" or "ethical" or just "humane"?  

How can someone live with themselves for being the bully we preach against to our children, yet we don't walk the line we have drawn; we don't follow our words with actions, then wonder why our children don't either...  

Where did this come from, you might ask... Well, to be perfectly honest, I have been watching people the last few months and listening to their words, watching their actions and shaking my head in amazement (not always in a good way either).

Over the past few years, I have watched a "church" who states they follow God's law, yet do anything but be the loving Christian that Jesus portrayed when it comes to warriors (military) funerals and the families of those who have fallen.

I have seen people who are in high levels of authority treat their employees like slaves and less than acceptable human beings.  When they are called out (rarely) and reprimanded for the awful treatment of others, those who were treated badly are not given back the rewards they have earned... so what was the difference? (*this is also like the officer who beat a woman walking on the highway who just lay there and protected her face... but not the only example I have witnessed lately).

In the past 3+ months, I have watched people (some of them immediate family members, which just blows my mind), treat a widow with small children in awful, demeaning, and horendous ways...  From doing a "fundraiser" in the families name, then stealing the money... to Telling the widow she is the cause of her husband's death (even though she was at home and the death occured at work)... SERIOUSLY??  To top it off, the "family" told the widow's young children that their mom never loved their daddy and was only out to "get rid of them too"...   The woman is lucky I am not in the immediate area.  

I see posts on social media of parent's delibertely putting their children in danger for the sake of money, freedom of responsibility, etc...  I see people treat animals as if they were nothing...   I see people use others, abuse others, put other's at risk, with no fear of reprisal or punishment... 

And the world takes it in stride as if it all means nothing... NOTHING!

What has happened that our world no longer cares for it's fellow man/woman/child/animal?

I fear for my family, country, world... 

And now what? Who else will ask "Why?"

Or am I the only one who is asking "Why?"

And why is that??
