About this episode

This episode discusses the importance of politeness and selflessness in promoting the well-being of others.

Listen to episode 1114 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Hints on Common Politeness. Edited & adapted from a book by the same title by D.C. Colesworthy. Inspirational Podcast Excerpt : We have fallen on singular times. Who has any true regard for the rights of their neighbor? Where can a really polite person be found? If we do not actually spit in the faces of our friends, we are, every day of our lives, guilty of numberless thoughtless and uncivil acts that greatly displease and annoy them. Your own pleasure, convenience, and interest should not be taken into consideration when they conflict with the duties you owe your neighbors and society at large. It is a glorious privilege to sacrifice our own selfish interests, if thereby we can promote the well-being of others, and scatter widely and profusely the blessings of life. --------------------- Get our popular 3 books of Life Lessons in paperback and e-book on Amazon.
