Am I fallback from a different era?

Have never been much of a TV person ever. For a change however, I watched a documentary today. Have been feeling really depressed ever since about the condition of our society at large.

Why is there such duplicity and selfishness amongst the young generation today?

We are the first to critize our parents when they fail to provide for some of our needs. Towards the end of the their lives when they need us most, we happily send them to old age homes and consider having done our duties!!!

Why does marriage between two individuals not result in a happy union of two families as well? Why are we so selfish these days that we marry someone thinking only of our selfish needs and forget all about our parents?

Why are women unable to treat their in-laws with the same love and respect as her own family and vice-versa? Why do men feel burdened when reminded of their in-laws?

We talk management mumbo-jumbo like - "Take responsibility of your actions", "Owe upto your responsibility", "Be responsible", "Take up more responsibility" - and all of that crap without ever understanding the meaning of the word responsibility.

Where are we headed with such escapist & materialistic attitudes?
