Rampant Apathy

I have heard time and again the complaint that the morals of our society are slowly being eroded away. How true this is. Look around and you will see the blatant absence of courtesy, the blatant disregard for laws.
Mind you, there are many who still have the above traits but by and large the majority of the populace is beginning on a steady downward spiral.

All that being said and done, what is even more startling is the blatant INDIFFERENCE, APATHY that the rest of us have taken upon ourselves to exhibit with such passionate religiousness. Look around, you will see the people flouting the rules and mores of morality, but notice also the abundance of people around that are willing to just standby and mutter under their breath.

Maybe some of us are concerned with the possibility of butting into other people's business and more so of being made to look stupid, or worse, to be found embarrassing our peers. But isn't it our business that these people are butting into, when they litter without concern for the cleanliness of the place, when they make out in public transport, when they walk / drive through a red traffic light "because there is no car what!" What do we do? Do we just watch or should we be actively holding up the moral standards and rebuke our brothers and sisters.

If we just let things be, we are as much a part of the problem as the offenders themselves!
