The thin and precarious crust of decency is all that separates any civilization, however impressive, from the hell of anarchy or systematic tyranny which lie in wait beneath the surface.
Aldous Huxley
When did men stop opening the door for a lady? When did “you first” give way to “me first”. Somewhere in our high tech world of speed and AI driven superficial persona, we stopped being kind, and decent, and civilized.
We push through to get ahead with little to no regard to the impact of our actions on other people. I see real value in civility and decency. And we should spend just a little bit of time being less self absorbed and put others ahead of us.
Maybe we can pull decency out of the grave and give it its rightful place, so people can wear it as a badge of honor.
