Bedlam

Earlier today I attempted to do my families weekly grocery shop.

Ive not had an anxiety attack in public for quite some time however what should have been a simple trip to Woolies has succeeded in breaking that streak.

As Australians we pride ourselves in standing together, being as one. But in all honestly this couldn’t be further then the bloody truth and it’s absolutely disgraceful!!

When did it become socially acceptable to punch on over toilet paper? Yes we sit and have a giggle at the various videos that are posted all over social media (I can’t say that I’m not guilty of that), but has anyone stopped to think ‘what have we, as a nation become?’ Where are our values? Where are our morals? Most importantly, What are we teaching our children? That it’s ok to be greedy and take more then what is needed, leaving the cup empty for the next person? Is the example being set that ‘I am worthier then everyone else, therefor I deserve to take more then my share?’

We are abusing each other. We are abusing the supermarket employees, I’m pretty positive that they are not at fault for everyones greed, and if they are then WOW… that’s some pretty powerful shit!!!

I believe that every negative has a positive, however; I’m finding it really very difficult to find it in this situation.
