Back when I lost my oldest son to an auto accident I didn't get depressed but did have problems dealing with it and kind of climbed into a cocoon attitude. I still functioned as needed because I still had a younger son that needed a father and a wife that needed a husband. As time went on I was able to slowly climb out of the cocoon and be myself again. I still think about Doug Jr. everyday and sometimes I wonder what his life would have been today. Even though I was hurting for quite a while I never considered hurting anyone.

Sorry for your loss, and hope you're doing better now.

This, precisely.

and our society also has a lot to do with our "erosion". I know each of these is a DENSE topic... so try not to read into this too deeply, but here's my shorthand take on what's happening:

1. We kicked out God  - however you may feel about religion, it used to be at least some form of check/balance and a guardrail for how one should act or treat others. Not flawlessly mind you (because.... people)
2. We glorified violence - It's in every movie, every video game. No, I don't think that makes people killers (i'm a gamer), but it does lead to being desensitized and accept it
3. We accepted a Non-standard definition of family - I mean no offense to anyone by saying this, but a two parent household, who can cover both male and female viewpoints are crucial for society.
4. We wanted a free internet - This one is tough for me. I want free internet.... but we've now had a generation of kids who've grown up with access to EVERYTHING and most of the time that's without guidance. And they aren't looking up math problems
5. We drugged the population - I'm speaking Opioid, anti-depressant, etc. Big pharma and doctors started pushing pills on anyone. 100% there are people who need it, but not as many as they shelled out for a kick back
6. We took it easy on crime - We started looking at criminals as babies just down on their luck and not holding them accountable for their actions
7. We ignored those in need - Everyone (dem or rep) has ignored the margins when it comes to poverty, nobody actually goes into these impoverished communities and spends a penny to improve it. Needs lead to crime and eventually it's culture

8. We stopped seeing each other as people - Instead, we're enemies. If you don't believe what i believe, then we can't get along

There's more, but i'm tired of typing

Well said.
