Good manners are important to live happily among people.
Without good manners we are only slightly better than animals. The modern
society consists of more people than it did in the past. These people are of
various cultural, racial, religious and professional backgrounds. It therefore
requires great powers of endurance and abilities of mixing with people. Good
manners enable one to tolerate the disagreeable attitudes of others to a great
extent. They also help to promote friendship among the people around.
If one has good manners, that person is respected by those
who associate with him or her. Having good manners, however, does not mean that
being polite, understanding, and sympathetic when not only outside but also
inside his or her home. There are many people who are very kind and polite to
people outside their homes, but within their own homes they are worse than the devil
himself. Such people do not really have good manners.
Having good manners means being good to others. Our speech
and habits as well as our behavior should not hurt the feelings of others or
cause them any inconvenience. We should not also talk ill about others or boast
about our achievements or personal possessions. We must not laugh at the
weaknesses and failures of others. Further, if we are angry we must try to use
words in such a way that others are not offended. So, how about practicing good manners starting from today? ;)
