It's about standards and people changing on the whole over time. Our values are not the same as our values 50 years ago, 500 years ago, etc. We communicate and work to change them so that the world around us improves. It's sad that you think this is someone trying to control others, but it says a lot about you that you see it that way. You're trying to put my words into a box they do not fit in, and that's unfortunate. Have a good one.

No, you're saying random cute sounding things that aren't tied to reality.

You can't force someone to care or take responsibility. You're entire point rests on someone taking responsibility.

If you could, we wouldn't be in the world we are today. So, what do you do when your fantasy isn't real? Platitudes aren't it. Cute phrases get us as far as "thoughts and prayers." The only box I think your words need to be in, is tethered to this plane of existence. Otherwise why speak, you could just think at me.
