Often we get wayyyyy too much enjoyment out of playing games out there that really do not mean a thing, and therefore we forget about the most important one; the game we kind of have to play, and at the current moment, seem to be losing: Life.
Life is a game that definitely does not need to be forgotten about, nor does it need to be overrated. Life is a very natural thing, (In fact, THE most natural thing!), and it is something that needs to be looked back over by many of the people living theirs and some things need to be put in order to change.
It would seem to me that may people have just lost either sight or interest in morals and values. It's not just for one thing, either, it's for multiple things, which include but are not limited to school, work, relationships, and love.
Many of the things people do today are just plain out hypocritical and I do not see the use in it. No one likes to be a liar, so why in the world would someone go out and lie, and then lie about lying? What kind of a person would that make you? One lie is bad enough so imagine what multiple lies are like!
School these days is surely something that is overrated. It is good to be educated and to be prepared for life but children spend more of their life at school and work than they do with their own family. And that leads to serious moral problems right there.
Too much value is put on the letter grades that children receive behind their names anyway. After all, a letter is just a letter, and proves absolutely nothing about how much and inquisitive mind has learned. No one has to prove they are a rocket scientist to be smart. No one.
When looking at the government these days, though, one can score a hit on values and morals that brings everything else right on down. The very rights that we as people are supposed to have are the very rights that are being ripped away from us slowly but surely, and by our own government, too. And the reasoning is? That's the whole point. There is no reasoning, and the officials who serve in our government are no different from the people that vote them in. Therefore they should learn to step down from their high pedestal of fame right into the crowd and learn one on one exactly what it is that the people want. After all, when George Washington was president there was no T.V, no radio, and no internet. Therefore, he seemed to care more about what the country needed, and what the country wanted, rather than what he wanted, because his name was known by everyone, but he did not have open contact with everyone all the time. He was able to keep his head on straight and worry about what mattered the most because he didn't have open access to fame all the time. Fame did not matter to him. How's that for hitting home? Nothing more than the truth exists at home, anyway.

Yep. Its a weird wild illogical place.
People just need more perspective.
You don't lie, hate, or mistreat, if you step in their shoes, people need more of that.
Your ideas follow closely my blog titled 'The Depreciation of Morals' I suggest reading it. :)
