I have been observing these kind of changes around here too. I think it's not necessarily that people are considerate about the economy but evils has prevailed. Parents now warning their children to thread carefully...this reduced the fun we experienced those days
Even the few children that moved house to house here only asked for money and not food or drink
As in ehn... it's not fun anymore, but it's safe. No one really knows the other any more and everyone is just being careful. It's sad, but it's needed.
