"The world is changed. I feel it in the water. I feel it in the earth. I smell it in the air. Much that once was is lost... for none now live who remembers it." With these words, the now iconic "The Lord of the Rings" movie trilogy by Peter Jackson begins, and with these same words, we could fully characterize this post of ours.
The first part of "The Lord of the Rings" was released almost a quarter of a century ago, and since then, the world has changed so dramatically that it seems like at least a century has passed. Not only has the reality around us changed - we ourselves have changed. Sometimes not for the better. So some sad, nostalgic threads on the Internet are a new classic nowadays.

Basic respect. People just talk to each other any kind of way now like it’s normal.

I'd say, genuine connection is definitely slipping away, and it kinda sucks to watch. You know what I mean? Like, people used to really talk. Face to face. No phones in the middle, no multitasking. Just being present. Now it’s all quick texts, voice notes, likes... and don’t get me wrong, I love memes and group chats, but I miss the deep convos at 1am or those random talks with strangers at a coffee shop.

Common decency. People want to hate each other, and will do anything for a reason to continue.

That closed-mouth smile and head nod people do to acknowledge each other. Haven’t had one of those for ages in the UK and I worry as a society we are becoming overly cautious and isolated.

Good paying jobs. The only ones making any decent money now are investors.
