Upbringing

I am not sure what other people arethinking about. They might feel same way..They might feel nothing..

When we were waiting to check in at our Yosemite logding, it's happened again. While we were in line, a couple of people cut in our line. They thought since it's just for a quick question, it is ok to cut in line.. However they don't care if there were other people who were actually IN LINE waiting for their turn to be served, no matter what their business was in the counter. My wife's aunt told them to stand in line.. But they just said "oh no, we are just here to ask a quick question. "

If you were them, what would you do? For my opinion, I still stay in line even if it's just for a tiny matter, unless it's really an emergency like if there was a big accident and need to call 911 immediately.

Whenever I saw these people, I felt their parents didn't do a good upbringing. In Japan, we have morality class in school once a week. We read a textbook and debate about the topic. I like this textbook in the class. I read it so many times during breaktime and/or before sleeping time. So we only not learned what is good and what is bad from my parents, my relatives, and my neighbors but also we learned them from my teachers, my friends, and the classroom.

Whenever I saw people who had bad upbringing then I worry about the future because these people will take care of their kids and grandkids too and they will not care to teach them to be courteous and respectful of others. It's a bad cycle.. Eventually the world will be bad and all people will be selfish.

We have to stop this bad habit!! Some people still say.. That's why we have the church. The church teach kids good and bad... No!! If you have only this answer, you are just avoiding your social responsibility. The church will not be the primary responsible party for a delinquent child/adult. We are the ones who make the world good or bad. We are the ones who make our future. We are the ones who raise our kids ...So don't avoid these matters.
