what a day

I sometimes wonder why people do what they do.  It seems like the world has become a place of selfishness and anger.  I understand that sometimes emotions can grab ahold of us and are projected unfairly against others yet to hurt the ones closest to you seems to be almost accepted.  This is a pattern of behavior that in my opinion should be the most unacceptable.  Im not saying I am not guilty of this acton yet I miss the days when a certain level of common decency should be a normal aspect of behavior and not the exception.  The days of a Norman Rockwell family dynamic is far from reality and Im not sure it ever really was the social norm yet we all should strive for a more likeness of this far fetched reality.  The fact of the matter is we do seem to hurt the ones we love the most and the end result are not just hurt feelings but wounded self confidence and a lack of understanding for anothers core emotion.  We treat strangers and people we fear better than the ones who are there for us on a continuous level.  The main question is why?  Why would we treat someone we might never see again better than the one we call in an emergency for help?  Why do we seem to have more an emotional response when we see a sad movie than if we have just hurt someone in the real world? I feel that this is a queston that will remain unanswered, I guess all we can do is love unconditionally and let those who hurt you deal with there own insecurities and consequences because they will come around.  Next time remember who has been in your corner and give the gratitude that is due.
