LilSqueaker's blog: "ugh"

What ever happened to being able to take someone at their word? When you could trust someone to do something or be somewhere because they gave you their word. It used to be that your word was as good as a contract now it is just a way that people make empty promises. Hell a promise doesn't mean shit anymore either.

I may only be 26 and many would say all that was lost before I was even old enough to understand. The thing that people don't know is that I was raised with the same morals and values that the generation before me were raised with. I was raised to respect your elders, say please and thank you, give your seat up to someone older, work for what you get, if you make a promise keep it, never give up, always rememeber where you come from, and so many more yet most are not raised that way.  I know what it is like to work from early morning then go to school come home and do more. I know what it is like to move for your elder to sit down and I know how to say "yes ma'am/sir" or "no ma'am/sir".

It makes me sad to think that even know I am teaching my daughter this that most people her age will never know the true meaning of respect or of honesty. They won't know what it truely means to give your word or make a promise. They won't know the meaning of humility or trust. How am I suppose to show my daughter this better world everyone likes to talk about when the things that truely make the world better are being lost.

I am truely thankful to my parent and grandparents that made sure that my brothers and myself had it ingrained deep in our minds these morals. I am also glad that they are still here to make sure those morals are ingrained deep in my daughters mind as well. That there is not a day in her life that she does not pt these morals intoplay.

My wish and prayer for this generation and the next s that we start rememebering those morals that should haev been passed on. That we can find the strength to fight the laziness and the BS of society that we are all entitled to things that were not. I just pray that others can raise their children the true meaning of respect, trust, promises, and your word. Just give your children some morals that can help to fix this beloved land that the brave men and women who have these morals can be proud to serve.
