HOW TIMES CHANGE!
Oh how I long for the days gone past! When I look at what happens in our society today, I do nothing but wonder how times have changed.
Several years ago, the bereaved were sympathized with. The society did everything to make them feel comforted during the time of sorrow. They were given food, and helped with anything they required. Nowadays, death seems a god-sent opportunity to scavenge the few remaining goodies in the bereaved home. We are fed, and afforded an opportunity to take away anything we feel has not been kept properly. The sad-good news is that this selfishness and wanton plunder lasts as long as the body awaits burial. Being members of the funeral preparation committee, we delay the preparations as much as possible. We even steal from the harambee to help offset a few bills here and there. How times have changed!
Gone are the days men married chaste girls. The age at which people engage in their first s!exual intercourse gets low every single day. Society seems aloof as children get exposed to things that do not add value to them. We even entertain stuff about different s!ex orientation. And glorify nudity.
Gone is the communal action on matters affecting society. Some years ago, theft was a matter of importance to all, because people worked with the understanding that today the thief could be in a neighbour’s house, tomorrow, they could be the victims. Nowadays, a victim of theft could be totally ignored. At times, we flash out our smart phones, record the proceedings and post them in our social media handles. And thieves, nowadays, are our role models.
Morality is in an all-time low. And it is tending towards total immorality. How times change!
