I re-realized an important truth (for me!) today while sitting in a Dotour coffee shop somewhere in Meguro-ku.
Being polite an courteous is much, much more about one's own inner state than it is about other people.
This sounds weird at first, but since-
a) the way you feel internally determines what reality you create
b) what you give out energetically to the world is what you receive back
- then it makes quite a bit of sense!
Not that I am always polite - I can be a rude asshole sometimes.
But I have noticed that when I am gentle towards people I interact with, it makes _me_ feel good. In fact, I am certain that I get more out of the actions I take in that way than they do!
