I think there are many people out there mixing with us each and every day who do not think about anybody other than themselves, but on the other hand i have also seen first hand that there are still very kind, generous people around who do want to help others from the goodness of their heart.
I have four children and have raised them to be polite, use manners, respect their elders, etc- this is how i was raised and i want my own children to grow up with the same values as i have been raised with.
It is not hard to say please or thank you, giving a stranger a smile or saying hello doesn't cost anything but it might be the only smile or hello they get until their next outing.
When i was heavily pregnant, i had to use public transport (buses) a bit and on quite a number of occasions i had school aged children/teens and other people who would sit in the easily accessable seating and glare at me as though i was a parasite, only a couple of times i was offered a seat.
It is sad to think that there are many people who do not know what manners are let alone know how to use them, butwhen i do encounter someone who is kind, it really makes my day.
