Bring back manners - not entitlement

When did manners go out of style?

Was it a turn away from the gender and racial divide?  That's kind of understandable.

But manners is only

Being mindful and respectful of another's point of view in life

Seeing things from their prospective and adjusting appropriately

We all want a litte adjustment from the world around us

A little nudge that says "I count".

Can I interest you in any?

How about

Instead of trying for barbarism and/or hedonism

We keep practicing love and/or acceptance

**********

Never let anyone make feel lesser than what you are*

Even yourself

Be mindful

To be compassionate to yourself

To be genuine

It has to start from within
