Just a thought : Why manners and etiquette exist

  Just imagine a world with everyone who has manners and etiquette. I'm sure no one would start a fight over a simple please and thank you. The simplest rules of confucius that says that one should respect the elderly and tolerate the young would very much suffice to ensure family harmony. Not only that, It increases one's personal values. A person learns to respect not only people around them but most importantly respect themselves as well.

  Manners help one give a good impression. Thus when one leaves a good impression, it gives a good vibe to the other person. This good vibe can lead to harmony and acceptance among the two individuals. (Of course there may be terms and conditions applied.lol)

  Other than that, Saying please and thank you or offering a cup of tea must make you feel good inside right? You're doing something right, so naturally.. it makes you feel good about your self. At least you won't be constantly thinking about slitting other peoples throats for some mere reason.

tea anyone?
