Good Manners Still Exist In Barbados

One thing that I appreciate about Barbados is the simple thing in life, and for me this includes good manners. Back home in Scotland you could virtually walk past most of your neighbors without even acknowledging them let alone speaking to them. That is a sign of the times in the land I use to life in and I know from friends and relatives that this is the case in most places within the UK as a whole.

I usually take my dog out for a walk about 6am and when I pass people that live in my neighborhood in Barbados I will get a friendly good morning greeting with a smile. Or like yesterday early evening I was doing something to my fence and it wouldn’t matter if it was a wee kid passing by or a beautiful lady or an elderly person I would get a friendly good evening greeting.

It doesn’t take a lot of effort to be nice to people and greeting people that live nearby in a friendly manner is something that should come naturally to us all. It doesn’t take a take a lot of effort to show some good manners as we go about our daily business. I personally treat people how I would like to be treated, and that is with good manners, courtesy and respect. For me there is no other way to conduct yourself, when dealing with fellow human beings.

I for one am glad that good manners still exist in the neighborhood that I call home in Barbados. “Rudeness is the weak man’s imitation of strength.” Eric Hoffer
