Uncommon Courtesy

"God Bless You." What happened to this simple courtesy of saying this? It shows concern for someone who sneezes, concern for their health. But no one is worried about anyone else's health these days, only about their own. so if someone sneezes they are more likely to say, "Go home if you're sick!" which sounds like concern, or just, "Stay away from ME!" which shows their true concern is only for themselves.

Take care of #1.
Is this a good thing? yes because we can't take care of others unless we take care of ourselves. everything is connected, so when we take care of #1, we benefit the whole world.
Selfishness.
how did selfishness get a bad rap?
How did this article turn out to be a defense of selfishness, when I wanted to defend courtesy?
