Mind your Manors. An old phrase that still holds a lot of weight. Modesty, Restraint, Integrity... A few words that are crucial parts of the recipe to making an outstanding human being. At least in my opinion. I dont find the quiet ones, weak... I dont find the shy ones, powerless. A buddy posted something pretty cool this morning. It said, cruel words make others love you less... My, how true that can be. Theres a thought that has sorta ruled how I treat people since I was probably about 10 years Old... I helped me make sense of how I was feeling. It goes something like this... At the end of your life, do you want to be considered someone who hurt the world? Or someone who helped the World? Did people live easier because you were around? Could people trust you with their most guarded possession? Were you a great friend that went a step further for people, so they could live a little happier? Or were you a selfish person? One who didnt bother to see how the people around you were doing? Did you take from others to gain for yourself? Were you cruel with your words... Did you break relationships for no other reason than your own ignorance. Most people are too kind to tell you if you have done so... But your life can be very cruel if you choose to be cruel. Everything will collapse around you... You will be left living with less and less of the important things. Therefore, you didnt live life to the fullest. Youve failed. Im lucky enough to observe enough to learn a thing or two. I know people who are the truest form of both sides of the spectrum. Back to manors... There is people who are in this world, you thoughtlessly run through their lives, kicking, screaming, and crying about every detail that they dont like... In almost every case, those same individuals do not do a single thing about the situation they are referring to... I believe those individuals do nothing but demonstrate their maturity. Then there are those who show restraint. They study the situation. They refuse to let their emotions take over their thoughts... They choose to care. In return, the people around them live fuller lives. People are happy to see them. Who would you rather have a conversation with?
