It's a sad fact in the times we live in. People have more ways to communicate with each other than ever before.
Parents will do for their small children who still live at home or give an excuse. Sometimes it's a valid reason. Often, when those children grow to adulthood, they give more excuses than reasons. Seeing their parents as no longer important since they don't need anything from them.
This attitude also extends to siblings, friends, neighbors & coworkers. When the one being asked doesn't value the other person as much, they might simply not reply or give an excuse. As sad or extreme as this may seem.
This is what has become of our world. As those who know me might see, I am far from perfect. So flawed, there might be a need to invent a word that means flawed to cover me. LOL!
With that said, most people who know me will attest to my habit of making time for other people. Even during busy times in my life, I make time for others.
Giving time for others can just naturally happen like the ebb & flow of time and tide. Mostly, in today's world where it's too easy to sidestep communication with others much less an actual physical meeting, it will remain unknown if the person actually reads a communique or not.
It's akin to people saying they will pray for someone. There is no way to know in a concrete way if the person who said they would pray for someone, actually did or did not.
Harsh?
Maybe.
Truth?
Most often, yes.
The distance of geography or time one person will go for another is an accurate measure of how much the doer cares. Regarding the one they are willing to do for or not willing.
People are as busy as they make up their mind to be.
