- The lack of compassion people seem to feel for one another (e.g. when people nonchalantly walk right past homeless people on the street with not so much as a second glance)
- The growing materialism (it scares me that sometimes I'd rather watch t.v. or go shopping than take a walk or pray)
- Groupthink (a lot of folks don't really do their own thing - even being "indie" nowadays is a trend! Sometimes trends can be helpful, though - like the "going green" trend. At least the planet is being helped, regardless of people's motives!)
- Little to no appreciation of beauty (anymore, it's almost a crime to watch the sun set when you have work to do)
- Unabashed narcissism (I'm guilty of this sometimes)
- The misuse of sex (it happens as much in our hearts as it does with our bodies, and it can really hurt when it turns on you)
- The rape of our environment (we ignore the facts so we can have our hamburgers and shoes, and the consequences have to come crashing down on us sooner or later)
- Lack of understanding, willingness to understand, and appreciation for others (leads to racism, social discrimination, hate crimes, and other general badness)
- Lack of respect for life, especially helpless creatures like the elderly, children, animals, etc. (treating all things with kindness and respect should be the standard)
- Misunderstanding of love (I have a feeling it's different than we'd think)
