"The need to treat people with courtesy is not always respected today; I can think of a number of celebrities who are known almost as much for their ugly behavior as for their acting chops. But we should remind ourselves, and our kids, that we should exhibit courtesy and respect toward all, even if they do not extend courtesy toward us."
Amen!
That quote is from this Breakpoint article by Eric Metaxas:
THE HAPPY HONK
So sad & depressing how we continue to become more and more and more of a me-me-me-focused society.
In general, our nation & our world has lost its' manners. Many see "Do Unto Others" as a joke...... giving it little/no thought as they maneuver thru each busy, self-centered day.
Our world needs many, many things -- courtesy and consideration being big ones. Those 2 things stem from love, kindness, and patience....... which tend to be in short-supply more and more and more.
Grace & Peace & Love to you all -
Matt
