What have we become?

I have come to the realization that people are just mean and only think of themselves. Has it always been this way? And if so, why is it so hard for me to believe? I guess because I was raised to care about others before myself.

I call a company and ask for help because I'm having medical and financial issues, and they are unwilling to do anything. My doctor treats me like I'm making up having a kidney stone until she sees for herself on a scan that I'm telling the truth. I drive down the road and a person, only thinking of themselves and not paying attention that cars are coming, opens his car door and steps right in the road! Unbelievable. I really believe people have forgotten others and focus only on themselves. And it makes me sad.

Now, I realize not everyone is like this, it just seems like lately I've seen more hateful, apathetic people than usual. I know I have a temper, I know I can be mean, but honestly, I always do my best to put others first. Maybe I care too much, but that's just how I was raised. I don't know, I'm just venting...I just wish people would be nicer to others, that more people would think of others first...is that really so hard to do?
