The biggest problem we face today

No Toronto Mayor David Miller, it is not guns.
It is not terrorists.
It is not even Climate Change.

It is in fact RESPECT or the lack of, to be precise.

Much of todays society is so consumed with themselves and how important they think they are, they have forgotten, or worse, have never learned about respect. The links above is proof of that.

No respect for life. No respect for the dead. No respect for those simply just doing their job. I doubt if they have any self respect.

Without respect, we have nothing to offer anyone that is of any worth. I do not suggest that we respect anyone for what position they hold in life, or what they have done. It matters not. We need to respect everyone we encounter in our lives, and some we may never meet, for without each and every one of them, our own lives collapse. No matter how meaningless you may think their position is in life, or how much better you are than them, without them, you are nothing. We all like to think of ourselves as being independent, but nothing could be further from the truth. We are all very dependent on each other. This is simply a fact of living in a society. When that society loses respect for its members, it will collapse. We are now seeing the cracks in our societies super structure. If we don't do some major repairs to our attitudes towards each other, we are all screwed in a major way.
