THOUGHTfull Thursdays: whatever happened to Good Manners & Right Conduct?!

thought of the day: whatever happened to Good Manners & Right Conduct?!

hmm.. so i was that kid who grew up in a catholic school.. we had lessons everyday regarding Good Manners and Right Conduct.. basically teaching us how to behave as citizens of the world..:) even though i transferred in a non-catholic school in highschool and was in a state university in college we still were thought how to act properly and have the right values so as to be good people when we're out there to face 'reality' already.. so where am i headed?.. hmm.. it's just that im saddened by certain encounters i have in the "real world" lately.. which brought me to thinking: whatever happened to good manners and right conduct?? basically it's this thing called falling in line that really messes with my head.. i remember when i was in kindergarten we were falling in line in this sink waiting for our turn to wash our hands before we finally eat our 'snacks'.. that early we were thought to respect others and wait for our turn.. but then out in the real world, the world of supposedly mature adults.. the line's just a waiting area and when you can find your way to be sneaky and be way ahead of others you go do it.. sorry, for blabbing all these.. you might be bored.. but i just have to get this off me cause it's really pissing me off!

i'd love to share particular experiences but then this blog entry would be TOO LONG and uninteresting..

bottomline: just care to have some MANNERS people! it wasn't in the curriculum for nothing! i mean give some respect if you wanna be respected.. karma's a bitch! what goes around comes around.. if you planted good seeds you'd harvest good crops..

ps: it's NOT an excuse that you don't know the person you're disrespecting.. stranger or no stranger, we're all the same.. we're human.. we're equal..
