I get the impression that people were better about getting along back in the past. Maybe because they spent more time outdoors. Maybe because they had coping skills we no longer do. Making up stories, poetry, singing together, etc. That stuff really mattered.
I don’t think so. I asked my father about that. He said, everybody knew everybody else’s business. There was no privacy.
Yeah, I was not singing or writing poetry with my brother. Mostly I was telling him I was not going to sleep in the tent after he went into town to pick up girls.
