I was watching one the morning news programs today and they did a piece on this topic. So many thoughts went through my mind as I watched. They talked about so many examples in the world today. People who are famous for being uncivil. Off colored language from those at the highest levels of government. The examples just went on and on.
It made me think about myself. How often has my speech been thoughtless and uncivil. How often am I more interested in getting a laugh than speaking appropriately. Who have I hurt? Who have I been dis-respectful to?
I have been trying to make the idea of "Let virtue garnish your thoughts unceasingly" be a much bigger part of my life. I truly understand that "As a man think-ith, so is he".
I can see that civility is something else I need to be thinking about.

The world would be a much better place if there was a little more civility from everyone. Good thoughts.
I love this post and this is something I too have been thinking about a lot lately.
What are we teaching the generations that will follow us? What can we expect from them? We must teach by example and show them the importance of respect and as you said civility. As Scott said the world WOULD be a much better place.
