CHRISTMAS COMPETITION – DECENCY
We can all be educated but what does it mean without ‘Decency’. Decency is one of the lordliest gifts to man from God but we are not appreciative of it.
It costs nothing to be polite and simple courtesies can make the world a better place. But humanity these days is for the most part deceitful, discriminative, and unfriendly which creates unnecessary conflict amongst mankind.
Decency when consistently and conveniently shown to others at school, work and play makes for good team work, resolves possible conflict easily and improves corporation between people.
Like the activist Rosa Parks once said ‘each person must live their life as a model for others’
‘Doing unto others, what you would do to you’ is treating people with decency.
