Are we becoming desensitised to each other?

 Is it just me or are people losing their manners and morals? Their courtesy, and their virtues? I can't count how many times I have walked the streets of London and been bumped into fiercely without the culprit even looking up from their phone, or turning to apologies. It's increasingly becoming more and more frequent, and I am left to wonder what has happened?I would be foolish to try and speak on behalf of the millions of Londoners that live here, because I obviously have no clue what's going on in their minds as they go about their day to day lives and I'm not even certain that this is a new phenomenon. I'm a young man, growing up and experiencing life a fresh, but it does seem to me that it's getting out of hand. How can people ignore a person in need, as if they are a piece of dirt.I was on the underground once, and a man in a leg cast fell down the escalator - quite some way too - and people ignored it. This is in LONDON! I ran over to help the man up and stayed with him to make sure he didn't fall again, as we climbed the escalator once more - ironically without a thank you - and people stared at me as if I was the one out of place!I need to do some research into this further, as I would be interested to know why in my opinion, so many humans have become desensitised to hurt and suffering, and lost so much care for one another. Of course there are still so many good samaritans out there that counter balance everything I've just said, though I do feel we need more! I will allow this thought to marinate in my head for a while and perhaps follow this up with another post, I just had to get my thoughts down, and didn't want to be behind on the blog, three posts in.Take a watch of this, it perfectly displays everything I've just mentioned, though this is not in London.As I sit and write this delayed post, I am accompanied by a very dear friend of mine who I've known for nine years and occasionally write with. Introducing my writing partner and blood brother Charles D. Hamnett, with his thoughts.I have a friend who was in an abusive relationship, she told me some of the things that had happened and I would honestly wonder how someone so evil could actually exist. I feel that some people associate power with verbal and physical aggression, however when you have someone who is strong within themselves and is virtuous, we appreciate them all the more.Aggressive people seem to think very highly of themselves, just look at Alexander The Great, Stalin, Genghis Kahn, Hitler and Trump. People that push and force their way into position through aggressive means, as opposed to using a cool head and letting one's ability speak for itself. It seems that the majority of people are angry because they are not happy with how their lives are going, and therefore take out their aggressions to give themselves a false sense of superiority; but it does not make them feel better in the long term. I feel that if they can find a way to make their life work in their favour, and make their lives less chaotic, happiness will arise; and then they will feel less of a need to conquer and more of a need to connect!
