If one wants to be a civilized and friendly individual, he should make a decision. This may be a peak period for the whole society to battle against the growing waistline and creeping cholesterol, but we also can block the spread of rudeness and hostility in urban areas if we’re willing. Civility can’t stop nuclear holocaust or put a roof over the head of the homeless, however, it makes a difference in the shape of a community, as surely as lifting weights can make a difference in the shape of a human torso.
