Good Manners

I have been wondering lately what ever happened to good manners? Most of us were raised with them. I'm not just talking the please and thank you. Almost everyone does that. I mean good manners in the way we conduct ourselves with our fellow man.
I miss the "Hi, how are you doing today?" when I am at the grocery store or walking into a business. Most people seem so bothered by their own lives they forget that simple good manners go a long ways.
If you have an appt. with someone, and you don't show up, that is bad manners. A simple phone call to say I can't make it would be good manners.
Telling someone they look nice when they obviously have made an effort to do so, is good manners. Bringing a flower to a date, or pouring someone a cup of coffee shows good manners.
Simple things like saying good morning to your coworkers or asking someone how their ailing husband is, shows good manners.
I have noticed a lack of these things in the world today. People seem so caught up in their own little bubble. I often have thought that people were just jackasses, or snobby, or selfish. I don't know that this is the case. I think people have just forgotten the art of good manners.
I miss them. It's a way of conducting ourselves that reflects well on us as individuals.
We know better, we have just got caught up in a world that no longer puts importance on these simple things. We are more concerned with what your cell phone # is, than how your sick dog is. We would rather have an e-mail address so we can write to you later, instead of sitting down and having a cup of coffee and a real conversation with you.
It's become that simple to me, we are missing good manners and I want them back in our world.
So, on that thought, please have a nice day, thank you for reading my post, I hope your dog is better, and If you would like a cup of coffee, I would gladly pour it for you.
