why does it seem like it was so long ago when a closet was just a place to keep clothes and not something to come out of?
people respected their parents and it was not fashionable to not see eye to eye with them?
a heffer was simply a cow and a bitch was simply a dog?
if u said come we stay you were told go stay yourself?
people got married before they lived together/had sex/had children?
democracy was government of the people by the people for the people?
the pearl of africa was not under construction 24/7?
people weren't afraid to say they believed in God?
people were glad to compliment others without feeling like they were tearing a chunk of their own skin?
just wondering.

Seems like that because it was long ago... so long ago that remembering it is like remembering things that happened before I knew how to remember.
you know that song of baby face Simple days? Bring back those simple times of yesterday
When a man was a man
And a friend was a friend
Bring back those simple times of yesterday
When you said what you meant
And you meant what you said.. Those days are long gone
when "i love you" meant "i respect you, i care about you and i love you more than i love myself" and not "i want to sleep with you with no strings attached"?
i think part of the reason why everything looks much worse than it did before is because people are more open. i know how weird that sounds, like it shd be the good thing but i remember reading some movie review that called for a little more hypocrisy bse the blunt truth telling was hurting more than helping. it was a movie review in i think Time magazine at a time when there was a craze of making Jane Austen inspired movies. Poeple no longer bother hiding their dirty laundry. this is my theory anyway. people did all those things before, they just hid it well before.
