The lawsuit and trial brought by Vernon Unsworth who was one of the cave divers involved in the cave rescue in Thailand has been getting a lot of attention. Billionaire Elon Musk made some very unsavory comments about him and the guy sued. Musk has allowed it to go to trial. In my opinion, cases like this are just a sign of the times.
“We are experiencing a coarsening of our society,” That is a statement I heard on TV a couple years back. It was made by an author touting a book. I can’t remember who it was but I certainly remember his statement because he was spot on in describing what is happening in modern times. Social graces and civility have gone out the window and we are developing a crude, rude, and socially unacceptable population.
The crudeness and rudeness is permeating all our human interactions and guys like Elon Musk just think that’s the way it is. It’s in our entertainment, on the web, and on the streets and it’s damaging our culture. I see it in the diving community where we are supposed to be “buddies.”
It would be nice if we could return to a more gracious and mannered way of being where we respect peopel and treat others with kindness. I’ve been trying to smile more when I’m in public and have been going out of my way to do little acts of kindness. Maybe if we all join in we can make the world a happier place.
