Hi, Dave. Thanks for sharing such thoughtful words. I couldn't agree more that "we" are the problem. We've become so self-absorbed compared to our parents, our grandparents, and those further back. I'm not sure how to break this downward spiral.
Another term for this sin might be "conceit." It's been said, "Conceited people never hear anything but praise."
And Dylan, of course, had something to say about this in his song "Disease of Conceit."

Conceit is a disease
That the doctors got no cure
They've done a lot of research on it
But what it is, they're still not sure
There's a whole lot of people in trouble tonight
From the disease of conceit
Whole lot of people seeing double tonight
From the disease of conceit
Give ya delusions of grandeur
And an evil eye
Give you the idea that you're too good to die
And they bury you from your head to your feet
From the disease of conceit
Stay tuned for next week's post with my humble solution(s)...
