ISSUE: Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? We should never be impolite to another person.
The transaction between people is delicate, the attitude that we have showed towards one guy might reflect on ourselves just like mirror image. Thus, I cannot agree more with that in most times, people should be polite to the others. However, everything cannot go extremely, on some special occasions temperate impolite behaviors exhibit our attitude and gesture.
There is a little allegory, a father told his boy to put a timber pile into the mud once he got angry with the others, and take it out when their relationship has been fixed up. After several days, the little boy found out that there are some holes in the mud which are hard to remove. The holes are just like the pain we left when we hurt another person, especially the person who loves you very much. Be gentle and polite to the others can remain them a good impress to them and protect their love and care paying on you.
Nevertheless, being polite does not mean that we should be polite unconditional. If somebody is trying everything he can just to infuriate you; if somebody is enforcing violence on the others; or if somebody is abusing your country, could you still keep calm and polite? Occasionally, impolite attitude can reveal our disagreement or even disgust towards some behaviors, and can also show that we are not weak. There is a Chinese old saying: “Be a gentleman first and a solider second.” We should be polite to the others unless the others’ actions had disobeyed our basic principles.
This viewpoint is able to be verified in many aspects. We cannot use flowery language to fight against an invasive army; we cannot use warm hug to face up to a cruel murderer; we cannot use temper smile to condemn the guilt of terrorists. We should value the love which is sent to us and blame the really hurt that was sent to the others and to the world. You will find out that impolite at times do benefit during the interpersonal interaction procedure as well.作者: 秋雨荆州 时间: 2012-3-28 20:24:53
