Were people in the past friendlier
than they are today? When you think about it, you realize that this prompt is
indeed true; most people from the past usually change, and sometimes these
changes aren't that great. Most of their innocence has been stripped away due
to the fact that they befriend people they shouldn't and experience things they
shouldn't at their age. Some other
times, these sudden changes are caused by the use of the internet, where they
usually subject themselves to social networking where they decrease the time
spent physically talking to someone.
I believe that this prompt is
indeed true; most of the people I had once known grew less friendly toward me.
Usually the people that I lost touch with turned out to be “Jerks;” they have
less respect towards someone they once knew, because they don’t feel obligated
to be friendly anymore. The people that are still in touch with me are much
friendlier than the people I once knew; maybe because these people took time to
know who I was. People usually have a friendlier attitude towards someone they
really know; this is because there is nothing to hide and each gained complete
trust towards each other.
The people in the past were indeed
friendlier than they are today because they weren’t “stripped of their
innocence;” usually this is caused by bad decisions and the internet. I don’t
mean that the internet is bad, I am totally in love with the internet but this
is one of the causes. By bad decisions I mean that the people usually encounter
people that aren’t all that great to be with; usually people that are involved
with matters that no one should be doing. For example they befriend people that
love to inflict pain to other people, which indeed does change the friendly
attitude the people in the past had. Another bad decision that the people in
the past might encounter is betrayal by a friend or loved one; once this had
happened, their whole personality changes. The friendly attitude changes into a
more secured mean attitude, so they won’t be subjected to another betrayal.
The internet is indeed another reason
why people have become much more “crabby” towards people today. The internet or
social networks isolate individual people, keeping them from physically communicating
with other people. People usually have a change in attitude as they go through
long periods of times without physical communication; they grow a sort of “awkwardness”
toward other people. Usually this ends up with them not talking to their
friends like they did before and become distant, which is not a great feeling
at all. They soon realize that they actually do not like the people they
befriend and shun that person, usually acting it out by acting immature and
mean.
People in the past were sooooooo
much nicer than they are today; I really miss those times that they actually
had the courtesy to be nice. I myself have witness people I once new change
into some “Jerk” that thinks they know everything; it’s not really something
that I enjoy at all. I realized that the only way I can try and make them stay
nice forever is to keep in contact with them so that they know me really well;
not too well though because they might late hate me and blackmail me. The
number one thing though is that you should never ever ever never ever do is betray
someone’s trust because this will either get you dead, hurt or missing. So…I
agree 99.9% that people in the past were much friendlier than today.
