Good Etiquette does not depend on age or status of an individual in society. It comes from a conscious effort to stay away from immature and shallow perspectives. One should cultivate compassionate feelings to display honest emotions rather than mere exhibitionism of vague and arrogant behaviour. Erosion of honesty and integrity is lessening the compassionate qualities and coercing minds towards unnecessary aggression.
If you honestly wish to criticise, do so with integrity and only to awaken minds to think beyond the rotten system and encourage them to contribute to life in a constructive manner.

Thank you, Kim. Indeed difficult times are obfuscating our minds and thus the chaos. We have to think how to clear away the haze and let light shine.

Stillness – I keep reaching for this word and it comes up often in my yoga class, if we all strive for some small moments of this, perhaps, we can indeed, let the light in.

Where is the education in compassion in our schools?! Maybe it should be in literature and history?

We need to expand our thoughts on what actually education is. Educating ourselves on life to comprehend human relationships is required. As for our individual responsibility we have failed, we have to think beyond formal education and degrees.

Absolutely Amitav. Genuine praise encourages and constructive criticism helps one grow. Both when shallow or superficial fail its purpose.

That’s true. Radhika. Many social interactions are going awry and lack direction because society is suffering from erosion of positive ideologies.

What you’ve penned down here is most relevant. Also, I feel criticism must not be made for the heck of it. If one doesn’t endorse an idea himself, he should not point out that flaw I’m others either.

Thank you, Pradita. Exactly, I do not like sly or vicious criticism just for the heck of it or harassing anyone. Only when one is honestly following an ideology can preach it to initiate positive change in society.
