Morals
Another offshoot from titles such as how things have changed could have accompanied Morals as well. We are today at least two different
types of peoples with different aspects on life, some of us too old to give up our own outlook on life. The best example of this is the
female of the species who in my upbringing we were taught to respect. WW2 was the start of the change when women were obliged
To go out and do a man’s work. This was the start of what we have today and that is the career woman , and the arguments
between the sexes which is mostly there through competition A man in my time was and did if he was any sort of man look after
his family, and the female was the home keeper and looking after the well being of any children produced and all lived happily ever after.
Today greed in a lot of cases has set in and as they say money is the root of all evil. Big fancy homes are expected by all parties
and the welfare of any children is put upon the taxpayer to support the upbringing of any young ones. It seems to me
That the outlook of young women to day is the saying to their spouse “ what’s yours is mine, and what’s mine is my own,”
Instead of sharing their worldly wealth and hardships if they have any. Today on the other hand we have the macho man
Or wife beater living in a world of his own and looked down upon certainly by me and any man with any sort of backbone.
Things have not got better as regards human behaviour in my lifetime , and I prefer old morals to what some call old fashioned.
