It is more comfortable for me, in the long run, to be rude than polite.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Politeness is a desire to be treated politely, and to be esteemed polite oneself.
It's always felt natural, because I'm generally very comfortable with people.
Fine manners need the support of fine manners in others.
For me, politeness is a sine qua non of civilization.
It is better to have too much courtesy than too little, provided you are not equally courteous to all, for that would be injustice.
People are rude in general.
As a person, I'm polite - I want to please.
Etiquette does not render you defenseless. If it did, even I wouldn't subscribe to it. But rudeness in retaliation for rudeness just doubles the amount of rudeness in the world.
To be rude to someone is not my nature.
You can't be truly rude until you understand good manners.
