KIND: Politeness leads us to civility
As I enjoyed the Sunday Cd’A Press article extolling The Lioness of Idaho, Louise Shadduck, I realized how valuable her strategy of politeness was for our current times. As I read through the article, I came to further understand how this locally born woman realized her power from respecting all whom she encountered. She rose up through our local and state governments all the while remaining a local girl. She was known for the “Politics of Politeness.”
This same morning brought another tidbit which dovetailed into this subject. On the CBS Sunday Morning TV show, I watched a story of kindness. A bus driver witnessing a homeless woman board her bus shoeless. The driver, having been homeless in her recent past, removed her shoes and gave them to this woman. A simple act of kindness.
