It is easier to pay insult than to hold one's tongue. It seems (by reading most posts here) that many do not have an open mind to use any form of courtesy. Although, I find many here that seem confused on "chivalry" and even though I have mentioned other words that describe it like, gallantry, gentlemanliness, courtesy, fairness and politeness; have yet to associate these words as meaning the same thing. Many have described what they think it is and the original post is about one word and it has nothing to do with medieval times or knights.
Now...after reading the posts today, all I can think of is the word Respect. If you have no respect for others or what they say (in a respectful manner), how do you ever think you can even learn about chivalry, gallantry, politeness and just downright good manners? And don't tell me they don't have that in the east, west, north and waaaay over yonder! Because I don't believe it. And if this is really true, and how mankind is fast becoming, then it's going to be a inhuman world. And if you think it's bad now, just wait until there is no respect for any humankind. Meaning man, woman, child or animals.
When I started this thread, it was suppose to be "fun".........opening thoughts/opinions/discussions...........not insults to each other.
And with this, I close. I have no other thoughts in which to give. But, if you are truly interested in what I may say, I welcome you to ask me in a PM.
Good evening,
SB
