“True politeness consists in being easy one's self, and in making every one about one as easy as one can”
~Alexander Pope

WHY BE POLITE ANYWAY?
 

Every seat was occupied, 

 when a group of women got in. 

The conductor noticed a man 

who he thought was asleep.

"Wake up!" shouted the conductor.

"I wasn't asleep," said the passenger.

"Not asleep! Then what did you have 

your eyes closed for?"

"It was because of the crowded condition 

of the car," explained the passenger.

 "I hate to see the women standing."

“Politeness is to human nature what warmth is to wax.”
~Arthur Schopenhauer





“You can close your eyes to the things you do not want to see, but you cannot close your heart to the things you do not want to feel.”





“A gentleman is someone who does not what he wants to do, but what he should do.”
― Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood





P.S: What would it take for the politeness quotient in the world to grow exponentially ????



If each one chooses to treat another like one would like to be treated; it would not be difficult to transform life on this planet.

Thank you for visiting the TREASURE TROVE today.

P.P.S: There was no electricity and no internet connection for the better part of the day…hence the delay in posting today’s blog.
