Whatever happened to kindness?  It seems to have died along with common courtesy and compassion.  I often wonder if the advent of the internet and its ability to conceal who we are that allows us to attack without having a public, face-to-face confrantation.  Or have we just become a world that truly no longer cares about anyone other than ourselves?

I don't understand the anger and hatred expressed by so many for people they don't know and have never met.  I don't understand those who are quick to judge or criticize someone who's path they have not walked.  Maybe I am simply naive in my thinking that we should live by the Golden Rule.  Or maybe I just a romantic who believes that I am my brothers keeper.
