Now that you have begun to think about what we are saying: learning to read, using the dictionary, being presentable in society, understanding your skills--there is another aspect to appearance.
While the world left you by the wayside, you can drown in sorrow and madness, or you can FAKE kindness. Society isn't all that sincere and genuine, as you know. People say one thing and do another, whether they have lots of money or not.
But as you develop different skills and solve different problems, we will show that simple manners can go a long way. Despite the rage you may have for others, if you place a smile, say a few polite things, and hide your feelings, you can achieve much in society.
1. Say "please," "thank you," "excuse me," "pardon me." The more you treat people with good manners, the more they will respond.
2. Open doors for others. Pick up dropped items. You know generally when to have good manners. Like a waiter who serves his table, you sew on a smile and fake caring about others, and they will respond to your appearance.
Golden Rule
Do unto others as you would have done unto you.
While this expression is very good, because it shows just how to treat others. It is not for everyone. Others want to be treated in different ways. You may want a dollar, a cig, or food to eat. But people don't see it the same way. They think they would not do that if they were in the same situation as you are.
Golden Rule 2
Treat others the way they want to be treated.
This means that you must observe others and perceive how they want to be treated. Some want anger, some want love, some want lies. This also is contextual, meaning that within each situation, event, or with each different person, you must observe the way others want to be treated.
Why do we bring up kindness, manners, golden rules? Sometimes when you are so sad, angry, and downright mad, you forget to open doors for people, you forget that the world around responds to you. This is important for how you APPROACH getting food, cigs, money, apartments, jobs.
Kindness
Kindness is the most powerful emotion you can share. If you truly are genuine with your kindness, you will succeed always. It's just difficult when the world is so cruel, governments and families turning their backs on you. "Be above" the horrors and atrocities and hardships you face, and you will find what you need and want in life. You just may end up in the penthouse of your dreams.
