I was told bullies are often insecure and that is why they bully.
I abhor the lack of common manner in so many people now. Hold the door open for women, help your elders across the road is something drilled into me and still I will practice.
Merry Christmas over there!
Yes, let others not decide how we are going to be, maintaining our manners will make a difference even if it is in our environment. It is nice to maintain those manners instilled in childhood. Happy holidays.
