Isn't it about time

When taking a look around us while going about  the daily business of our  lives, do we sometime think that there's something missing which we can't quite put our finger on but we have an uneasy feeling that things aren't as they should be anymore.
One thing that people perhaps are becoming more and more aware of is that there's a unexplained feeling of a inward anxiety, that people that we come in contact with seem to have lost their desire and ability to express any concern for their fellow human beings that they share their world with.
Today, for example, its not a  uncommon experience for people to pass each other by and not even acknowledge that person in any way, not with so much as  eye contact, a friendly hello. a smile, or even a  nod to give recognition that another human being was in their presence.
This callous sign of indifference to their fellow man is perhaps thought by some to be a symbol of their having reached a certain level of sophisticaton,a superiority, over other human beings,which doesn't require of them to show any acknowledgement of others and therefore justifies their indifferent  behavior.
 But who in the end, is the loser when humans refuse to acknowledge their fellow man,
I claim that we all are a little poorer when the value of another human being is held in such low regard that we can't even acknowledge the presense of another human being, and they're thought not even worthy of our notice.... Isn't it about time that we recognized our fellow man and treated them with the respect thats due to all of us in this world we share.
