DECENCY is a
powerful way of living life with a positive attitude towards fellow human
beings and all living creatures. The act of simple courtesy of holding the door
open, a pleasant hello, allowing the car alongside you to merge in ahead of
you, listening to and respecting someone’s opinion (even if it differs from
yours) goes a long way in creating a true sense of decency. The list is
endless.
It’s not
difficult at all, if you think before you react with a positive response to
most situations it will surely result in harmony with others that you may not
have realized before.
I’m a junkie
for engagement on my blog and would enjoy hearing how you instill decency in
your daily life. Thanks for visiting!

Do onto others...
ReplyDeleteLove they neighbor as thyself...
Those are what come to mind first!
So very true, Donna! Unfortunately, I think this is less common with younger generations these days...not all, mind you, but definitely some.
ReplyDeletePeople of all ages could use decency lessons these days.
ReplyDeleteI've nominated you for the Liebster Award! It's optional, but it's fun.

Donna, I hope I have installed decency in my daughter. I've spent a good portion of my life trying to model myself on my grandmother, who was full of grace. Occasionally, I have to remind myself to be a lady. LOL!
ReplyDeleteA little respect... a little decency... a little love an' concern for others... Can't you just imagine what a wonderful world this would become if each of us tried to do just a little better at these types of things? It goes a long way ~ ~ ~ an' eventually, it all comes back to bless us, in the end. Thanks for the reminder. <3
