Class

You know, I've been thinking a lot about life and about how far we have come as men and women in this world. I've been thinking about how far away we've come as well.  

I was going through the internet the other day and I was looking at old pictures of movie stars, and street scenes, and things that you don't really see in our world anymore. Like, for example, I noticed pictures of men opening car doors and laying their coats on the ground for a woman. The women were sexy, confident, and beautiful; yet, they weren't exposing their breasts or bottoms for everyone to see or flipping people off and yelling in the streets.  Men weren't carrying guns, they were carrying flowers. They were holding hands with their lady,

What happened to everyone?

I would like to think that it's ok for women to remain classy... You know, to want flowers and allow a guy to open the door.  I think it's ok for a guy to feel like he can be a gentleman without a woman getting mouthy or offended because she can do it herself. 

Is it possible to miss something I've never lived through? Is it possible to miss a time period I've never experienced?  

I think a lot of times, people are unhappy because of how we treat one another.  I truly do. We don't respect each other. We don't treat the women like beautiful creatures that were made by the hand of God. We don't treat men like the strong, solid creatures that God created.  

Also, we forget that women hurt inside long before they'll say so, and we forget that men need reassured of our love every day. Because we forget about others when we're so into ourselves.  We forget how to treat people, how to love. We forget how to be classy. 

I miss class in our society.  As with everything I know, everything begins and ends with each of us. So if it's class I miss, it needs to begin with me.
