Let's tackle selfishness shall we?

An obvious result of being disrespectful would have to be selfishness. Two things you see everywhere on a daily basis so much that it has all but become completely acceptable human traits. Unfortunately these two facts of life is what will singlehandedly bring about the End of Days. The more socially acceptable selfishness is, the closer we come to time of Jesus's return. It can't get anymore black and white than that. If you want to keep a running scale on how close we are getting to that point, all you have to do is hop on your local highway, rural road, or interstate and see how many people are actually following the speed limit. I'm speaking of the slow drivers just as well as the speeders. To go 35 mph in a 45 mph zone is to simply not give a damn about anybody behind them who actually has somewhere they need to be. To go right at the speed limit is to follow the law and to be concerned enough about the drivers around you to keep traffic flowing at a steady pace. I happen to deliver pizzas for a living so I know exactly how rare this actually occurs. So next time you go cruising just try to see how many drivers are attempting to drive at the speed limit compared to the ones who would love nothing more than to slow you down or ride your bumper. Believe it not, that will give you a pretty exact borometer of the plague of selfishness. By the way, if you got the money to just go cruising with gas prices, congrats. The power of oil is the devil's strongest weapon.
