The world is too much with us 

the world with us is too much, especially nowadays since some of the wonders of the world are being understood, and the ways of chivalry are slowly dying down. as the poem " the world is too much with us"

makes reference to this, as bit dirty, but true, that nowadays love, isn't love ,but lust. In reference to "back then" elders would worry less about the next generation, although now, since change in the way we conduct ourselves has changed, they worry more than ever now. since the way we conduct ourselves changes, so has our code of morality, therefore people are inclined to worry more about themselves, and less about the people around them.
