As a young person, it was a sin (wrong) to work on Sunday, to play cards, to dance, to not go to church every Sunday! Today, it seems not so much about what I do but how I treat my neighbors and my family! Today’s challenges seem harder to deconstruct than those of my childhood !

I agree with the changes you are noting, Gigigarman. The "rules" we had when I was growing up were more black & white. It was easier to label people and actions as right and wrong. Now, we are realizing that much of life is more grey without easy answers. That means we have to think and force ourselves to be open and forgiving. And, I also agree that these challenges are much harder!
Our lives have often moved from transactional (a checklist of what to do or more often, what not to do) to transformational (being changed by our world and those in it through interaction). That's what you've captured in your observation. It is harder to allow yourself to be transformed and even harder yet to allow others to transform.
