"Respectful attitudes after a relationship ends is mark of manliness." Wish culture would teach it.

25. In my old-fashioned world, that's what we called being a gentleman.

There's a full set of very old rules - I think out of Britain in the 1800s - that although are partially out of date that I try to remember and that represented the unspoken guidelines for living of most men that raised me in the 50s/60s. They had all suffered through the Great Depression and WW2. They didn't know about those printed rules from far way, but the rules were instinctive and deeply ingrained.

In a nutshell, those rules always guided a person toward doing no harm to others......

I fear we've drifted much too far away from our basic guides for a peaceful existence of compassion, civility, love of fellowman, empathy, unselfishness, open-mindedness, holding the tongue and being peacemakers, to name a few.
