Manners

Most of us I’m sure as heard “what do you say” when we wanted something, the correct and learned response is “please” or once received “thank you”.

For me manners are part of who I am, they are beyond mere words, they make up part of me, and they are part of my essence.

Manners played an integral part while I was in a relationship. Yes, he demanded them by saying something like “is that how you’re going to ask?” But more often than not that was unnecessary because I would have already used my manners. Manners are probably the easiest and yet most profound way of reaffirming my submission to him.

If I wanted to ask for something I would have said “may I please ask you something?” He heard this many times in a day, and the answer was always the same “Yes, Beautiful Always” I know that was always his response, but that doesn’t mean I used it as a default or blanket permission. l always asked because manners are powerful.

So why are manners powerful? The answer is very simple “respect”, “reverence”, and “appreciation”. They show all this in a profound way. They gave him power and showed him I appreciated everything he did for me, every last thing.

For something that costs you nothing, manners can take you far in life.

Good manners can disarm an otherwise volatile situation. They may save your life sometime. If nothing else, good manners just make the most common simple encounters a pleasant experience for all.

Manners certainly shows a lot of the character of an individual

    Quoting uncommon1:
    It has been my experience
    that good manners will open
    doors that the best education
    doesn't.
Very good point.....I wish more would listen and take it to heart.

It is beautiful to be surrounded with people with good manners. And although manners can be played, faked, it is beautiful when time and life prove that among many there are a few who are made of manners and respect itself. Rare and very special ones.

Absolutely. Manners in the Community as a whole have eroded, sadly.

Displaying proper manners are one of the Rules of Life, which are being eroded day by day.

manners are part of who I am, they are beyond mere words, they make up part of me, and they are part of my essence.

This fits me to a 'T'.

Fits me too .... Manners of all forms, not only verbal.
