You know its okay to choke your coach in sports because it seems if you are an exceptional athlete, you can find a team that will pay you. Its okay to kill because you were bullied or you want to be a bully in a gang and "they" told you you had to do it to be a part of their group. Its okay to demonstrate and scream loudly at the burial of the loved one of someone else because we have the freedom of speech. Its okay to overspend then spend some more because someone will bail you out and even if you don't have the money, its okay because we have laws to protect you. Its okay to cheat the government on your taxes, cheat the movie theater on the age of your children, cheat in a game, cheat your employer, cheat on a test because no one will ever know and if no one knows....well.... then its okay. Its okay to write disparaging things on the internet because you don't have to sign your real name and no one will be able to do anything about what you write. Not that anyone cares but even if they did, no one would know you did it so....its okay. Its okay to be rude, to be disrespectful, or to be selfish because humility is no longer laudable, respect is no longer demanded and well....rudeness is acceptable behavior.
Where is our moral compass? Where is our set of values? Where are we going wrong? We make excuses for everything we do wrong. We no longer need to say I am sorry because well.... its okay.
Accountability is lost. If you find it, please tell it to hurry home.
