Catholic Family Values

Being a child today society could mean that you may grow up in a family that has little or no core values. Sure we all know that it is not right to kill and steal, but what about how we treat other people that we come into contact with. A little boy (5 years of age) the other day past me by on the sidewalk and practically bulled me to walk in the grass. I simply said "excuse me" and all I got in return was the middle finger. What did I do to deserve that kind of interaction? This was a five year old of course and it got me wondering about the environment that he must be living in. It is not like I was walking in a tough neighborhood. This was a middle class area with ward working families.

After a little thought, I would have to conclude that parents are just not raising their children with the same morals and manners that once existed in a majority of families. This has become a "ME" society. Everything is about what we can do to better ourselves and not the community. And that is why it is so important that religious values have to return to the family in order to stop the hatred that is growing in today's youth.
