Do you think most of the people you encounter in the world are operating according to no/very few morals or values of any kind?

The older I get, the more I have a sneaking suspicion that most people walking down the street in North America live according to absolutely no internal morals, values, standards, or philosophies of any kind and couldn’t give a shit about it. It seems like most people are doing the absolute bare minimum necessary to participate in society and have zero desire to be a better person or think of anyone other than themselves. It seems that their only standard for success is holding down some kind of a job (even if they don’t do it well) & staying out of jail. Anything they can “get away with”, they will do it.

When I see things that people do, I’m absolutely stunned that they feel no responsibility to their employers, family or fellow citizens whatsoever.

Some examples:
– people who weave in & out of highway traffic going twice as fast as everyone else and causing near-accidents with no regard for anyone else’s life
– people who drink & drive or text & drive
– the people on Jersey Shore, Housewifes of…, etc. who have alot of money and just waste it when they know many people in the world are dying from poverty
– SEC workers watching porn all day while taxpayers are paying their salary

Sometimes I feel I am living in a bizarro world. Do you?
