Cliches are so vague aren't they?

As a fellow hater of rudeness and a sometimes wanna be hermit, I sympathize with you.

The only thing I've found that works for me is to recognize that good manners and the ability to feel empathy for another have, by and large, gone by the wayside. It's sad to think that a lot people today think only of themselves but that is the way things are going lately. It's all about me me me and to hell with anyone else. All you can do is continue to be the conscientious person you are.
