Instead of breeding we today would talk about courtesy, politeness, thoughtfulness, or perhaps even upbringing. <br /><br />Yes, frequently less is more.

Yes, I do... I prefer a bit of reserve in all things. Yes, I don't like it when someone enlarges a minor story. Comparisons aren't my cup of tea either. It tells a lot about a person, none of it very good.<br /><br />My friends (whom I haven't seen in ages though we communicate online of course) just returned from Europe and surprised me by dropping by the house (after calling first, of course) and I liked that they didn't expound on their trip until asked and even then they didn't go on and on. It shows delicacy in a way because they know I couldn't afford such a trip anymore and I did appreciate it. It made me want to hear more about the trip in a way. <br /><br />As for breeding - well, of course we don't talk about it anymore exactly, but I think there are circumstances in which we can feel the lack of it when in the company of strangers and/or meeting someone new. It's an inchoate thing, I suppose. <br /><br />Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919246184376538331noreply@blogger.com
