Good standards take us high.

The word cul­tu­re is much more com­pre­hen­si­ve than many peo­p­le can ima­gi­ne. Cul­tu­re also descri­bes the level of how we tre­at our­sel­ves and the peo­p­le around us. The level sets a stan­dard of man­ners that many peo­p­le can­not get over. And that is a good thing, other­wi­se it would­n’t be a level.
Eti­quet­te and man­ners have never real­ly gone out of fashion. After all, if you have a cla­im to a high level, you will quick­ly noti­ce that this form is not very widespread.
It is worth defi­ning a level in com­mu­ni­ca­ti­on, man­ners and coope­ra­ti­on. And to set an exam­p­le of this yours­elf and demand it from the peo­p­le you love. It is a won­derful form of app­re­cia­ti­on. Whoe­ver meets hims­elf and others with digni­ty through his choice of words and his beha­viour also gives life tog­e­ther a digni­ty worth living. To meet ever­yo­ne and ever­y­thing with respect and app­re­cia­ti­on is an expres­si­on of cul­tu­re. And the cul­tu­re of tog­e­ther­ness expres­ses the level at which we have arri­ved intellec­tual­ly. Evo­lu­ti­on is not just adapt­a­ti­on to sur­vi­ve, but cul­tu­ral evo­lu­ti­on descri­bes the decen­cy with which one walks through life — or stomps, stumbles, mar­ches or crawls.
