Where is pride in personal honor. Where is pride in work ethic? How come you no longer have a profession but you have a job? How come a street cleaner is not proud of the job he does?
Why can't Americans compete with other countries in manufacturing products. Good example and best example is the auto industry. The answer is the workers in the auto industry destroyed the industry. One good example is sabotaging a vehicle on the production line, then the consumer, of which I was one, gets stuck with the problem and forever becomes disenchanted with American made vehicles. This is a a flaw in the character of the worker or workers who worked on the assemble line. That flaw, once again, is parent induced and union induced.
A lack of personal honor. How many betray their own honor?
A bad apple on a police department is the worse. To betray one's self is the sorriest sin and one that the individual can never forgive. God can forgive he or she, but they will never be able to forgive themselves. They have betrayed their own personal honor.
