Human nature doesn’t change, but expressions do: Selfishness isn’t new, it’s baked into fallen humanity (Romans 3:23, Jeremiah 17:9).

My parents and grandparents’ era had its own struggles, but community norms and fewer distractions made Christ like behavior more visible and reinforced. Now, with less external pressure to act generously, the default can lean to selfishness unless intentionally fought against.

It’s disappointing when 95% of the people claim faith but don’t reflect the fruit of the Spirit (love, patience, kindness, and so on Galatians 5:22-23).
