Chivelrous Behavior

Chivalrous behavior is characterized by honor, generosity, and courtesy, especially towards women. It involves being polite, respectful, and exhibiting qualities like courage, loyalty, and graciousness. In essence, it's about behaving in a manner that is both honorable and considerate of others, particularly those who may be perceived as weaker or in need of assistance. 

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

• Honor and Courtesy:

  Chivalrous behavior emphasizes acting with integrity, fairness, and respect for others. 

• Courage and Strength:

  It can involve acts of bravery and standing up for what is right, even in the face of adversity. 

• Consideration for Women:

  Historically, chivalry was closely associated with the treatment of women, emphasizing gallantry, politeness, and protection. 

• Graciousness:

  Chivalrous individuals are often described as being gracious and honorable, even towards enemies or those less fortunate. 

• Beyond Gender:

  While often associated with men, chivalrous behavior can be displayed by anyone and is not limited to any specific gender. 

Being brought up to respect others is as good as it gets. Realizing that if we treat others respectfully, the world will be better and more harmonious for everyone. Don't shy away from lack of empathy, but rather embrace it and turn the page to a better future.

Simple but effective gestures will make the day easier for others including yourself whilst worthwhile and productive. Remember the golden rule. We reap want we plant. In other words by going the extra mile to leave others content we attract abundance.

All the best!
