I don’t have a very good memory, but one thing that has been drilled into my brain is my social security number. That’s because, when I went to college in the late sixties, we had to write our SSN on all of our exam papers. It served as our student ID number.
Imagine that! Our professors had access to every SSN in the classroom! We never once thought our numbers could be misused. I guess there was just an implied trust in the general integrity of people. Today we have to guard our SSNs intensely to prevent fraud and identity theft.
The days when we could trust the general honesty of folks are long gone. I miss them. Wonder if they will ever return?
Probably not till Christ returns.
Gaslighting and hidden agendas seem to be the norm. Sadly.
So true Darlene.
Those days are long gone.
