Those beside me

Gone are the days when we really needed, or were truly interested in the lives of, those to the left and right of us. With each passing decade our cultural psyche becomes increasingly strained with the thought of having to invest in someone else's life in a way, which does not show apparent, immediate gain or furtherance of our own journey.

Karl Marx was right about us was he not?

Boy do I agree with this! I try really hard to not let this happen in my life, but it's difficult.

Although i agree i'd also say that this is valid for every generation due to technological progress. Marx experienced a big step in this context and so he noticed a rapid degradation in humanity.
