Creative Unity

Civility, the art of beautiful behavior, demands patience, self-control, and a leisurely environment for its mastery. It is a crafted harmony of voice, gesture, and action, where generosity prevails, revealing true character without ulterior motives. In contrast, our hurried needs often lead to rudeness, symbolized by crude uses of objects like kerosene cans for water—emblematic of a disregard for courtesy, valuing utility over grace.

Civility is beauty of behaviour. It requires for its perfection patience, self-control, and an environment of leisure. For genuine courtesy is a creation, like pictures, like music. It is a harmonious blending of voice, gesture and movement, words and action, in which generosity of conduct is expressed. It reveals the man himself and has no ulterior purpose.

Our needs are always in a hurry. They rush and hustle, they are rude and unceremonious; they have no surplus of leisure, no patience for anything else but fulfilment of purpose. We frequently see in our country at the present day men utilising empty kerosene cans for carrying water. These cans are emblems of discourtesy; they are curt and abrupt, they have not the least shame for their unmannerliness, they do not care to be ever so slightly more than useful.
