Is Chivalry Dead?

I look around me and I see it isn't so.

The word itself - chivalry - may conjure up thoughts of knighthood and days long gone.

However we label it - politeness, courtesy, courteousness, gentlemanliness, kindness, or good manners - it exists.

I was particularly encouraged to see an endearing act by my nephew toward his girlfriend last weekend.

He opened the car door for her, held the door open, and closed it after she was situated in the passenger seat.

I smiled.

🙂

In a world where so many seem focused on themselves, I saw this as a selfless act of endearment, of kindness, of love.

Witnessing this chivalrous act gives me hope.

Hope for a world where we think of others first.

Hope for a world where people exhibit care for each other.

Hope for a world where kindness can change everything.

Young love is something wonderful to observe.

It's also wonderful to behold the goodness that stays alive in our world.

Is chivalry dead?

I hope not.

Create your life.
