I've come to the conclusion that I was born in the wrong era. I'd gladly give up cell phones, modern cars, computers, and so many other things to trade for people of a bygone era. When being classy was the goal of society, instead of being trashy. When people said what they meant and meant what they said. Chivalry being a way of life, rather than a temporary amusement.
People have forgotten a great many things. Sometimes I just watch to see who remembers. I've held the door open for a veritable line of people before just to see who'd actually say "thank you" or who'd just rush through to make sure I didn't go so they wouldn't be inconvenienced by having to open a door themselves. Try it sometime, you'll be surprised, and likely disappointed.
