Kindness...Where did it go?

I heard a topic this morning on the radio mentioning a university implementing a plan to be kind to your neighbor. That is quite interesting, what happened to kindness, did it decide to skip town? It seems that human beings are getting much more rude these day among adults and kids. (If you drive in the states, you'll understand) That is amazing, how did we arrived to this point. Has the media affect us mentally? How about our surroundings? Perhaps the food we eat (mad cow, salmonella, bird flu, etc). Although it is great to mention the issue, but has anyone thought about the solution??? I fear this is another hype story to get some publicity time. Most unfortunate. This country is heading downhill with morale, friendship and probably honesty.

Kindness should be natural, isn't it? As fellow human beings, why do we look at another any different than ourself? Do we really have that much of an advantage in comparison? I am not referring to wealth and physical differences; these are external and to me, it is always perspective. We are born, live a life (poor/wealth/happy/sad), then death comes knocking. Was there more in between? I don't think so. Why is it so difficult to be kind then?

The bible call it "SIN" or "SINFUL natural". Does that mean our kindess is being taking over by our sinful natural? I conclude YES. It seems to be.
