[the truth]

its sad people don't go out and play, see and interact and meet each other so much nowadays
a lot of these values we speak of are often unseen behind a computer or a mobile phone

for me its the many many little things....I don't trust anyone who promotes himself as a huge charity helper, I like those modest types who do it and don't look for praise or fanfare. But also at the same time pay their legitimate taxes so aren't total hypocrites
a man who is poor but does put something back into society is a man I respect. a man who truly helps another in need is someone I respect. someone who listens with an open mind is a person I respect. many people can say things to make themselves look good but how many people are really there at the end of a line when a friend needs them in crisis, giving up hours of time to listen and advise? that's the test of value and integrity. Not simply people who are boozing pals.

people do surprise all the time though, the person you may think is a total idiot will often come through in a crisis....then the people who have truly suffered are able to offer their words of comfort wisdom and often optimism in the face of hellish suffering to others. many people are lost and seeking direction, heroes looking for targets
