Disappointment

I am genuinely disappointed and saddened by the lack of caring and consideration in today's world.

People seem to feel it is unnecessary to say thank you, or even acknowledge most acts of kindness.

They do not feel it is important to respond at all, unless there is something they want or need from another person.

People cancel at the last moment, fail to include people who always include them, and don't think twice about any of it.

The lack of simple good manners is obvious at the highest echelons in our country and the meanness of spirit is growing more violent every day.

I expect that sort of thing from a certain sort of person, but I do not expect it from others and that is what causes the disappointment.
