Absolutely. Just had this conversation with my dad. We are literally spiralling down.

So many factors now sadly. I often think where we'll be even in another 20/30 years. I see so many people now with a sense of entitlement that simply didnt exist when i was growing up. They think they can do and act as they like as their rights protect them.
Very complex subject but spiralling down is a true description. I find myself becoming a misanthrope the older i get.
 
You’ve had enough on your plate Sue getting over that. 👍🏻
I'm fine thanks, x . I would gladly give, used to annoy me as I was 7 stone 13 and smack in middle of weight range for height but my work colleague who was 8 stone 2 and about 5ft 6 so underweight but theywould take it from her even though she was ill after, I used to tease her it was to get out the office for an hour and have the free biscuits.

As good as a tool the internet is, it’s also created a surge in narcissism, manipulation and ego boosting. Easy mobile access has only fuelled it even more.

I don’t mean to sound preachy , in schools I’d like to see a class or two focused on character building/development/morality , rather than just skills for employment. Develop the personality not only within the family but within the classroom.

Oh mate i couldnt agree more. That was the complex part. I could write a book on how right i think you are. Idiots and morons now have the availability to be in contact with each other in an instant where as they used to be kept apart.
Just so many things. And they bring their online world into day to day life.
Fake news. The lot.
It has many things to answer for. And its not going away.
 
Mrs K is a paramedic, not on duty today but some of her colleagues are, truly sickening and heartbreaking what I'm hearing. A dear old friend of mine has a saying " I'm glad I'm on the road out and not the one in " Never a truer word in this cruel world we live in today.
Know that traumatic scenes are not unlikely in the role of a paramedic but am sure this incident has hit Mrs K colleagues hard and hope that they get any mental health support they need.

Cheers mate, yeah it's a traumatic experience despite being part of their job, they are human beings who are deeply affected. Mrs is very upset and not on duty today so I can only imagine what those at the scene are witnessing.
 
Absolutely awful the more you read.

It's going to be more and more common unfortunately.


Times article yesterday highlighting the inadequacy of mental health services in the UK.
If only if was that easy. Mental health is a very broad and tough subject to get a handle on.
