I submit that these attributes are still most common, I find them with most everyone that I deal with, from the excellent medical folk we are priveledged to have at hand, to the folk who serve me at Bunnings, BCF, the dentists, the optometrist, in fact everywhere....what we all fall victim to is to find and focus upon an exception which in these days of internet and social media is indeed a possibility...however do not let these exceptions blind you to the overall decency of people rememberering always that the media delights in presenting bad folk to anger a growing cynicism that they really seem intent on promoting.
The reality is that when we were young we were often lucky enough to only see a perfect world ...one that was usually presented by Hollywood in movies that somehow over years we transform from pure fiction to a reality that in fact never existed but we then measure the present against the mythical notions of how the world is...not everyone lived in a house like the "Leave it to Beaver" family but so many think that family was the norm..if you think it thru the "Good old days" are often an illusion that we now remember as the way it was...it wasn't and never was.
