We ignore the failures of others and ourselves, we make no effort to pick the other up, and we seem to care little if we ourselves fall again. Even today, when fights break out, accidents occur and people whip out their cell phones with little regard for the other, so we essentially have created blinders to the plight of other people. While these are not moral failings, these are symptoms of the greater issue. .This attitude of going through life with blinders is largely in part how we ended up where we are today as a society. We don&#8217;t address our problems, we simply ignore them. This is why the days of public mourning and fasting are gone, because no one wants to recognize and repent of their mistakes. All we have left are the days of excess, and now our social consciousness has forgotten what it means to accept our failures. Instead, everyone is told they are a winner, in spite of their failures. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Societal Repentance &#8211; January 26, 2019 There is a prevalent attitude of &#8220;mind your business&#8221; that has permeated our society, our culture.
