You are right, sadly I see in Australia the mindset of the younger generation are so consumed with them selves and the spirit of selfishness consumes them. For instance they would never show respect on a bus or train when there's no seats left by hopping up and offering their chair to an elderly person standing.
Why? People are forgetting basic principles like respect, appreciation, gratitude, patience, humility and love.
If only we would understand that they have had a life time on this earth and their grey hairs of wisdom can teach us many things.
But we can be confused by their slow approach, when the world is moving so fast, that we forget their footsteps were hear first
