I have often noticed that most people don't know their neighbors. Years ago most of the inhabitants of a neighborhood knew everyone on the block. Their children played together, outdoors, went to school together and walked, yes walked, home from school together. Todays society doesn't have that same sense of belonging. We have become a mobile people, moving from one place to another to make ends meet or going after that next big pay check. Companies don't have the same loyalty as in the past. If you can't do the job than you are out, instead of finding a place in the workforce to help you fit. I have heard a lot of stories about the number of jobs that are listed on resumes. I myself have only had seven in the last 50 years.
Whether we like it or not, we have to live among other people in order to survive. So get to know your neighbor and help the new employee fit into the company you work for.
Since no one reads this, it is safe to say that these changes will never happen.

for real
Today I got depressed. Not because that is my nature, but because I was tired. Sometimes I would like to go on a vacation with no worries and no one to bother me. I like being out in the world. I like nature and exploring new places. Maybe it is a city I have never been to or a hiking trail I have never been on. I'm not crazy about big cities but I do like museums and small shops. I like quiet and maybe a little noise. I like the east coast, but have never been to the west coast. I would like to travel the US. I know these things will never happen because I am tied down by someone who does not like to leave the house. So every once in awhile I get depressed and I go to Google Earth to view the places I cannot get to.
