There was no "good old times".Oh yes, there were.
Those good ol' times were actually exactly like *any* time before, are exactly like the present and will be like *any* time after, but we were younger <img src="images/smiles/icon_wink.gif" alt="Wink" title="Wink" />and we liked 'em.
Long before Shakespeare, and long even before the Greeks, Ecclesiastes 1-4-11:
Quote::
A generation goes, and a generation comes,
but the earth remains forever.
The sun rises, and the sun goes down,
and hastens to the place where it rises.
The wind blows to the south
and goes around to the north;
around and around goes the wind,
and on its circuits the wind returns.
All streams run to the sea,
but the sea is not full;
to the place where the streams flow,
there they flow again.
All things are full of weariness;
a man cannot utter it;
the eye is not satisfied with seeing,
nor the ear filled with hearing.
What has been is what will be,
and what has been done is what will be done,
and there is nothing new under the sun.
Is there a thing of which it is said,
“See, this is new”?
It has been already
in the ages before us.
There is no remembrance of former things,
nor will there be any remembrance
of later things yet to be among those who come after.Now the sensibility to these matters, which is like sense of shame, or honour, is changing over the years, and it changes the way these events are perceived, but nothing more than that.
The internet (or in this case more specifically social networks) are just some means that can make easier for a bully to take advantage of someone who is weaker, physically, mentally or both.
Even "bully" itself is an old word:
