Civility, I believe, is one of the most basic elements of a decent society. Without civility, chaos would reign. With civility, being polite and courteous are acts that, when practiced and honed, become habit and automatic responses to everyday situations. We then tend to make choices that are positive...choices that make us feel more satisfied with our lives and who we are...and generally, as a result, those become good choices for the world. Especially for our own sphere of family, friends and acquaintances. All deeds, good and bad, have a ripple effect on the Universe.
Choosing civility also culls lawlessness, defeats discrimination and, calls for equality of human rights for all. It is important to keep in mind that ALL people are created equally. Whether you are the President, a laborer, or a person down-on-their-luck and homeless, you are equally valuable. This is a very important aspect of civility - all people are equal and should be treated with dignity.
Remember, the CHOICES we make impact our world and sphere of living. Make good choices in your daily lives. Civility is a cornerstone of democracy and decency. It really comes down to being a nice person. I believe we all like to think we're nice people...let's practice what we think.
Think - Live - Be a Super Star!
In love & light,

I really enjoyed your comments on civility. WE are often so hurried in our day to day activities that it is good to take a moment and notice that we are interacting with people all the time, even when we see them as invisible. Kindness really only takes a moment
on another note. I had trouble reading the tab which allowed comments. It may be that your readers don't know that its there.
