Musings

I’ve seen the idea of “etiquette” confined to fancy clothes, teacups with outstretched pinkies, and stiff backsides.

But contemplating zendos, street gangs, soldiers, hippies…I realized that true etiquette is realizing that every culture has their own communicative style, and that to recognize and accommodate that is piercingly aware, while denying and disdaining it is stubbornly ignorant.
