Common Courtesy: Missing in Action
A hotel lift, a breakfast tray and an unexpected confrontation. What should have been a perfectly ordinary encounter turned into a rather absurde lesson in bad manners.
We have mastered the art of getting from A to B, but have we forgotten how to make room for one another along the way?
In the full reflection below, I explore the curious gap between knowing the rules of common courtesy and actually practising them. Is consideration something we can teach, or must it come from within?
