I've always been a "glass half full" type personality. No longer, and I don't blame "age" for this change, perhaps in a way, as experience does depend on age, but the "FACT" that "nobody cares" (maybe better said, "few care", there are a "few") has spread to every aspect of our society. When people go to vote, nobody really cares about the important offices like JUDGES, nobody really has an inclination to do all the hours of research needed to find out the philosophy and past judgments of those up for election/to retain, definitions of accepted concepts and individual words change monthly now (Orwell's "newspeak"), people have actually been dismissed from the jobs, or their classrooms because they "mis-pronoun" another individual. Great example, "mis-pronoun" is a word most adults in their 30's were never taught, so we/they are bound to make mistakes ! Very low tolerance for mistakes, people are quick to assume the WORST of others. The whole virus scenario seems to have just given impetus to the trend toward "nobody cares" ?
Serious thought here, has there been a major, and permanent, shift it the collective American psyche ? Interesting to ponder !
