Why Not Chivalry?

Maybe gentlemanly is all they're looking for.

I would first like to acknowledge that I as a man have made my fair share of mistakes, and will be the first to admit that I come with imperfections. But as someone who strives to put chivalry into practice, I will be the first to admit that I myself know the benefits (not only to myself but also to those who deem themselves to be women in society) of what it's like to be a gentleman.

Secondly, I would love to cover the basics of what I aim to portray within this exerpt. 1) It's okay to have deep emotions and it is okay for them to be displayed. You cannot be blamed for how you feel, but you are responsible to be mindful of your behaviour and of how you treat others. 2)Our actions are displayed not only about how we present ourselves in public, but also how we carry ourselves in private. 3) It is necessarry to be sensible not only in how we manage our feelings, but also how we care for others. Those are the three basic foundations of every gentleman, and as such we must be mindful to conduct ourselves properly as we know that it is necessary to be aware of our evironment which is the key to listening.

Every gentleman has a proper foundation and arsenal of wellness in which they are able to translate what is in front of them into a deeper meaning. If you do not understand somthing in front of you, don't judge it, instead formulate an idea as to what it may be, but in any case, it's not terrible if you're wrong. You are starting out by the way. A great philosopher by the name of René Descartes once said, "Cogito, ergo sum." Translation;

"I think, therefore I am."

If you think on a subject long enough, you're bound to figure it out. Don't stop until you realize the deeper meaning behind a subject. Another thing, our anatomies are completely different. Try and gain an understanding of what troubles they may be facing and highlight them with your capabilities. Nothing is more gentlemanly than showing support.

I would like to think of myself not only as a man nor gentleman, yet as a respector of the female/woman society and as such have taken an oath to them to honor their indivuality without judgement, but instead. highlighting the fact that they themselves have lives and thoughts of their own in which they find escape from the outside forces of injustice.

"First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out-becuase I was not a socialist.

Then they cam for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out-because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out-because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me-and there was no one left to speak for me."

-Martin Neimöller

When we as men understand that there is a world unseen to our eyes and a deeper level of knowledge that they possess that we don't, then we'll truly be able to open ourselves to influence greater than ours. It comes not only through an act of submission but as a showing of faith that not everything we try to control is within our means. It's one thing to be there and something completely different to be present. When we truly open ourselves to the world in which they live in and abide by their rules, that's when we are able to truly experience living on a deeper intuitive level and build a lasting foundation in life that carry you and your descendants for generations to come.
