One reason why you would always see me walk with headphones on is because I’m trying to avoid so much drama while I walk out there. There’s so much going on in our world today, people are suffering, people are hungry and trying to earn a living out there. I also have my problems and so there’s no way I would allow someone with bad manners get on my nerves.
I’ve met so many beautiful people and in an instant, they loose their beauty in my eyes, thanks to their lack of manners. I sometimes wonder if we are living in a jungle now or people just don’t have basic etiquette. I don’t know about others but while I was in crèche through to primary school, we were being thought a subject called Etiquette for boys and girls. During this period, we were thought basic manners any respectable person should have and we were encouraged to use it in our daily lives. You’d be surprised seeing kids in kindergarten eating so neatly, talking nicely to others and they even know how to greet appropriately.
Thanks to our leaders, our educational system is a mess now and our kids are not being taught these basic stuff in school. Regardless, they say charity begins at home and so I expect they even if these things are not being taught in school, parents should make sure to inculcate such values in their kids since they would need them in their lives. One thing I’ve observed is that most people think word etiquette has to do with eating habits but that is even and should be the least of our worries today.
When I say our society has lost its manners I don’t even mean that as a joke. First of all, tell me why the youth of today don’t even make an effort use please when they need something and also thank you to show appreciate. Imagine going to heaven and hell for someone to not even receive a thank you at the end of it. That’s not even my problem. I believe that the words please and thank you should be at our fingertips as individuals. These should be basic words we should use in our daily lives as they are very important. So, I would entreat everyone of us to try as much as possible to use please when we need to ask someone for something or need help and also use thank you to show that we appreciate others efforts.
Moving on, why has everyone turned a blind eye to the youth wearing mini mini skirts and all sorts of skimpy clothing. I see people wear an outfit and end up trying to adjust it every minute. My question always is, didn’t you know it wasn’t appropriate before you wore it? In this era, people don’t really care about dressing anymore but sometimes we need to be more conscious and dress appropriately. Most at times you see people dressing wrongly for the occasion all because they’re trying to follow the latest trends which is very unnecessary. Dressing appropriately is an etiquette and everyone of us should make it a point to dress right.
There’s actually so much more I wish to address but then, I don’t want to bore you so much and so I’ll end by talking about how very bush it is to cut people while they’re talking. Gutter behavior to the core if you ask me. I mean who taught some of us to do this? I’m sure most of us see it to be normal but it’s very very inappropriate to cut someone right in the middle of their speech. Allow them to land before you add your share. Don’t cut them half way, it’s very bad to do that and disrespectful to some extent.
After all that I’ve said, I believe that we have all learnt a thing or two today and would make sure to apply them in our daily lives. I hope this helps.
POWER UP
Moving on to my power up for today.
Over the past month, I have been able to raise my HP from 2380HP to 2472HP through constant engagement and posting. Today, to contribute to my growth on the blockchain, I was able to power up 13 hive which sums my HP to 2485HP.
I look forward to powering up more in the subsequent months as that is one of my goals while working hard towards achieving my other goals on the blockchain for the year.
I hope you enjoyed reading this, thanks for your time.
all images belong to me.
