Rise of Civility

Civility, the thread that keeps society from falling apart. Without it, life as we know it will fall into disarray–total anarchy.

Our lives are impacted by the actions and consequences brought on by the beliefs of others. The interconnectedness of all life matters. Good manners, the core element of civility, a social construct created to inter how we really feel. Necessary, it is. Together, good manners simply give leverage to the familiar side of the equation that houses action and belief.

Acceptance of this need for civility is essentially a view that all humanity is running from its inherent malice. Humanity, preoccupied with the duties of self-preservation and self-actualization—thinking nothing of its brother’s sustenance and sustainability.

Lest, we forget we are the fulcrum of our individualistic existence and experience, constantly balancing our own realities with civility. Indeed, one by one a good manner finally eases itself in the eye of the needle, tying the fabric of civility together and giving life support and stability.
