Unless It’s on Intention, a Gentleman Is Never Impolite: Unraveling the Code of Quirk and Courtesy
Hello there, wonderful readers of Medium! It’s your friendly neighborhood writer, Brandt, back with another dose of wisdom, wit, and a pinch of humor. Today, let’s delve into a topic that has been on my mind lately — the art of being a true gentleman in a world that sometimes seems to have forgotten its manners. So, grab your virtual cup of tea (or coffee, or beverage of your choice), and let’s chat about why, in my humble opinion, a gentleman is never impolite, unless, of course, he’s doing it on purpose.
You see, being a gentleman isn’t just about holding the door open or offering your coat when it’s cold outside. It’s about embodying a certain level of respect, consideration, and kindness in everything you do. It’s about understanding that your actions ripple through the universe, affecting not only those around you but also your own character.
Let’s take a moment to talk about the “unless it’s on intention” part. Now, I’m not saying that accidental slips in manners will land you in the impoliteness doghouse. We’re all human, after all, and sometimes we fumble our words or forget to hold the door because we’re lost in thought. What I mean is that when it comes to intentional actions, a true gentleman knows how to carry himself with grace.
