This is a copy of a "letter to the editor" from the Villages News. I agree with it. I see the same thing lately. Is it age? Boredom? What's causing this??



To the Editor:

I’m sure this isn’t the first letter concerning this and it certainly won’t be the last. I don’t understand this petty and nasty behavior that I seem to notice from many Villagers. And before anyone replies with the expected, “Don’t like it, then move out!”, I’d like to ask why? Why be so negative and eager to jump on others? I see many bad attitudes and entitled, spoiled human beings. Whatever happened to kindness? It goes much further than meanness and hatefulness. I’ve been out at local businesses and witnessed my fellow Villagers in action. It’s quite embarrassing to see a grown man or woman behaving like spoiled children, yelling and screaming at other people because they aren’t getting their way, or what they believe they are entitled to. Is this the example you’ve all taught your children, as well? And whatever happened to the words, “Please” and “Thank you”?
Kindness and manners, anyone?
