I think generally speaking, manners and politeness aren't practiced as much as they should be, unless you live in a smaller community like Eskielover. It feels wonderful when someone acts kind with no strings attached. When we 1st got our laptop, my husband/daughter went to an office supply store to look for the microsoft office word program and a anti virus program. It would cost about $130 and we couldn't afford it. A man took my husband to the side and said he would be happy to install it for us...for free. This was so nice of him.

I once had a person follow me for miles(road rage) just because I accidently cut her off and it wasn't too bad. She followed me so close, her car was almost touching mine. I was terrified and called 911 and the dispatcher told me to drive to the police station. I couldn't tell if it was a man or woman and my kids were terrified. Amazingly the person followed me there too and had the nerve to get out of her(could see it was a woman) car and scream at me through the window.

The only good thing this incident taught me was - to be kind to others drivers when they make mistakes. She assumed I cut her off out of rudeness, but it was really just an accident. This real test is......can you be kind even to people who might not deserve it? Random acts of kindness, send postive ripples, the same way negativity does.
