Throughout its history, human society has developed certain standards of behavior.However, all we notice that many of them are quite arbitrary and can not substitute for morality.For example, respect for parents is expressed in such behavior, as a recognition of their rights and the priority position.Thanks to our grandparents, dads and moms to invest in us spiritual strength, every day we discovered for themselves the world, grow and develop, and gain skills ethical and moral behavior.
These are dear to us people have brought us respect for elders, to their age and vast experience, life events or errors, learn to recognize the value of the people around us, which include not only the family, but also neighbors, friends, colleagues, leaders of local or national importance, fellow citizens.The criteria for such behavior should be attributed not only the innate right of every inhabitant of the land on humane treatment, but also to earn his personal prestige and status of actions.
One of the main forms of behavior that reflects respect for elders, manifested politeness.In what does it consist?If we turn to the Old Slavonic language, the father of the current Russian, it becomes clear that the "Tower" is the root of the word, and in the old days it meant "knowledge."That is why the polite man - is the one who knows the rules of behavior in society and the value of politeness.However, nowadays many courtesy - it is only following the rules of good taste, which is not shown inner respect for elders, and the motions.This is quite different from the true worthy relationship, based on an exceptional goodwill.
no less valuable form of manifestation of respect is tactful behavior.It is the ability to balance their desires with the demands and needs of others, the ability to maintain certain boundaries of behavior.Tact is brought up for years and instills intuitive finding the right tone and the degree of expression of the feelings of communication.This property is at an early age are taught human mothers, grandmothers and aunts, so it is based on respect for women and the worship of the mother.
polite etiquette and lack of tact, which can not be obtained without a long and skilful spiritual education, engender cynicism.Unfortunately, some revere him for his virtue.Why is that?Because such a person is no spiritual foundation underpinning and supporting respect for the elders, worthy of the youngest and everything around the world.
Therefore, each of our contemporaries who decides who and what to respect, appreciating the deeds and actions of others, based on their spiritual education and general outlook.People brought up in formal terms, to the cynical pursuit of obtaining welfare only for himself, outwardly always polite and respectful, but it is very far from the true value of this concept.Respecting human - so sincerely recognize its high status and achievements.This is the right way, giving hope for the future.
