(4,683 posts)My parents always helped others. My Mom was a RN and my Dad delivered water to wells, and farmers, and took volunteer fire calls for 3 local companies, and watered the fairgrounds racing track between races. The last he did not for money, but tickets so we could go to the County fair.If people couldn't pay for their water bill, he'd let them pay a little over time interest free. My Mom provided nursing care to my paternal grandma and grandma's friends for free. That's how my sister and I were raised, to work hard, help others without expecting anything in return, and follow the rules.
Now it seems those "values," are no longer valued. It's the people who lie, cheat, steal, and harm others for no valid reason except they are not white straight American born men, and Republican, who are held in esteem. The rest of us are viewed as weak suckers whose only purpose is to worship and work for that privileged class only.
My college professors were mostly guys who were hippies in the sixties, and taught equal rights, to respect the Constitution, and social justice. Now they would be called radicals.
You're right. I don't recognize this country anymore either. It's heartbreaking.
