Hopefully we will be able to see you all in person soon! <br />Manners...hum...I also think that people from different regions and countries find different things appropriate or not. Although, I think that there are some generals that fit pretty much everywhere.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2978024424708430886.post-49926222787065888042014-02-09T04:28:42.483-08:002014-02-09T04:28:42.483-08:00and you are SO SO right!

So ... your reaction to any situation is always colored by your upbringing, your morals, your experience, your heart and, probably, your soul. And, of course, there is not another person on this Earth who has had those same experiences, so your reaction will be unique to you. Just as other people's attitudes, comments and reactions are unique to them. Empathy is a very difficult thing to cultivate, not least because it's impossible to have walked in someone else's shoes. Best always to be true to what you know is you, your values, your morals, your ideas on life, love, food, whatever. But don't let a differing opinion upset you. xoxoSallynoreply@blogger.com
