social grace

Remember those mannerism lessons our parents taught us as children?Those please and thank yous,greet and treat those older than you with respect lessons?Sometimes i wonder where have these practices gone to.We try so hard to impress others by displaying our 'perfect' selves that we fail to remember those at home deserve to be treated the same or maybe;better. Honestly, at times i too tend to forget that the person I'm talking to is older than me thus leaving the person struggling to depict the slang i speak. A slang fit for a teenager.Feelings of shame,guilt and awkward fill me when i reflect on my behaviour.

Isn't it embarrassing to have the media reminding us to practice social grace?Personally i think, basic courtesy should be practiced everyday like how we were taught as children if not;naturally.

RESPECT.its essential.


Hope this acts as a reminder cause it surely is for me.


Assalamualaikum.
