Manners, sensitivity, discretion and treating others with dignity seem to be bygone traits, or at least they're slipping into dim memory quickly. Much like saying "sir", and "ma'am" are long gone.

Unfortunately, it is the lack of these traits that causes unecessarry interpersonal problems and other things, like, ultimately, wars.

"In the old days", one didn't parade around one's personal issues, especially at the expense of others. It's like "leaving your personal problems at home", when working, and vice-versa.

Manners came into being originally to keep from being killed by knife, sabre or Winchester. What will the future be like?
