love is life

When I was growing up, I was taught a lot about love and compassion for other people. I was taught about the earned respect for diversity and other cultures. In today's time, I see that a lot of people in my generation or around my age, lack this. For example, you can go into Walmart... go through the checkout line and come to the front of the line and the cashier may start scanning your purchases without even acknowledging your existence first. Rude? Very. How does this make you feel? Most people would consider that particular cashier to have the personality of a rock. Or have you ever been in the hospital where the nurse and/or doctor didn't act like they really cared about your condition or that of your loved one? Or treated you like "just another patient"? Or even as another example, have you ever been in a restaurant and waited on by a waiter/waitress that appeared not to enjoy their job and never checked on your table when needed, but expected a tip at the end? This is because people lack the compassion for others to treat them as if they would want to be treated which is one the oldest rules of all time. I try to instill different morals, ethics and qualities within my daughter while she is still young so that she may grow into a productive, compassionate, caring woman and make a difference within the world just by touching the hearts of others, if they even have hearts by then. How do you react to these type of people? I try not to react negatively to these types, but I don't understand how one could be that way, so it can be quite frustrating at times....
