The other day while leaving my local dollar store, I ran into a lovely old woman. She stopped and started talking to me about the fact that no one holds door open for others anymore. She was telling me about her days working as a nurse. I have to admit most of the story I did not comprehend. However, I did get her message. She was adamant about holding the door for others. Here was a little old lady who had more manners and common sense than most people.
After she wished me well we parted ways. I started to ponder her words. It seems that many people either have no manners, have not been taught manners, or have forgotten thier manners? It seems that everyone is just wrapped up in thier own world and could care less about others. I know that myself and my family always hold the door for others. Unfortunately, we have run into people who do not...and it is very frustrating. I think society needs to find thier manners again. How hard is it to hold a door for someone? It takes very little effort and will make you feel better and the person grateful for your effort.
