It's just polite

[Bowwild]

Sometimes people simply forget or are out-of-pocket for a bit.  This is a weak "excuse" but I'm sure well-meaning and otherwise courteous folks have this happen from time to time.

Someone who habituallly does this is simply placing their own importanct too high above that of others.

Elevate others and you rise together.

That is not accurate.
 Usually its how  the ruling class treats the rest of the population that brings down a society. Not because a bunch of the population walk around not being moral to some standard, or courteous.

The above statement was intended to encompasse a vastly larger spectrum and not isolate that 'lack of courtesy' was the cause for society decline. 'Lack of Courtesy' is merely an indicator. Significant declines in morality and ethics will demonstrate a much more significant degradation to society and of themselves are not the total reason for decline. For there are many facets which contribute to a societies decline.

If we say that the ruling class is the cause for success or demise, then we have condemned ourselves as being powerless, having no impact and just can not make a difference. Are we slaves? Even slaves can and have made a difference. The ruling class could be one of the catalyst, but we ourselves have the power to decide and demonstrate by example and make a difference. We must refuse to render ourselves helpless and at the mercy of others for we were given the gifts of conscious, thought, freedom of choice, love and a road that leads to peace of mind and far more. We can make a difference.
