Being Polite is Not So Bad

Politeness is one of the most beautiful colour of life. It makes life beautiful. It makes you beautiful as well.

Politeness comes with words and with actions. The way we speak to others. The language we use with and for others, with them and in their absence.

Politeness doesn’t mean doing buttering up. Politeness means speaking or acting with full of love.

Politeness is a good virtue and good deed as well. I have read in a book ‘Divine Virtue’ – why be rude and strict while running a company when God is so polite while running world? Just think about it, so true! God is not rude with us, He tolerates us and still loves us whether we love Him or not.

Just think of being polite and you will be.

Don’t be polite with people only, be polite with things as well. I love reading books and have read few days ago that love things also they will love us back. Very true. We people have a bad habit of destroying public property. Why to destroy it? Some people use harsh behaviour with household things like doors, kitchen appliances, pens or pencils, rubbers etc. If you want to be polite then first be polite with your own self, then with everybody and with everything in every situation. When you give love to things and people, you will get back love for sure.

Everyone wants to be treated politely but doesn’t want to treat people politely. Very few people I have seen always speak politely. Even me, I also get frustrated sometimes but it doesn’t mean that we don’t practice politeness.

What does one need to be polite? Only low volume voice and soft words. It is not as difficult as we think. We only need to practice. Start practising from today. When we speak politely, it does not make others feel good, first you feel good.

Politeness is a good karma. What you give out eventually comes back to you. Then why to create bad karma when we love to live peaceful lives?

Politeness gives you pleasure whereas rudeness gives birth to anxiety, frustration, jealous, hatred, etc.

Can you imagine – by being polite you can avoid many problems like quarrels, health issues, stress etc.? What you give is what you get. When you are polite, you are sending good vibrations which bring smiles to everybody’s faces so obviously in return you can achieve lot of things like a peaceful mind, first of all, loving nature, friends, happiness, smile, respect, etc. You only need to practice politeness and if it seems very difficult, pray to God.

God is always there for us to help us to overcome our weaknesses.

“One of the greatest victories you can gain over someone is to beat him at politeness,” said Josh Billings. Suppose someone is shouting at you, just reply to him with politeness. It will be difficult but how long he would shout at you, at the end you win over him because the one who is polite automatically seems to be educated and sophisticated, and moreover with politeness, you look beautiful also and everybody is attracted to you as people love talking to polite people.

Be what you like in others.

Politeness has no religion. In fact, every religion teaches politeness.

Being polite with people be also a charity. It costs nothing and wins the heart. “Politeness is the flower of humanity,” said Joseph Joubert. I think so many of you have noticed that what we feel and how we behave, our face shows it. Angry people have rough faces whereas cool people have calm faces. Similarly, polite people have smiling faces.

Their smiling face speaks that they are very sweet and down to earth. So just notice your own expressions when you are in the crowd or talking with someone.
