Whatever civility might be, it has to do with courtesy, politeness and good manners […] Courtesy, politeness, manners and civility are all, in essence, forms of awareness. Being civil means being constantly aware of others and weaving restraint, respect and consideration into the very fabric of this awareness […] Through civility we develop thoughtfulness, foster effective self-expression and communication, and widen the range of our benign responses. Civility allows us to connect successfully with others […] (Civility) frees us from slavery to self absorption, impulse and mood […] Restraint is our inner designated driver […] (Restraint stops us from) unthinkingly rushing into action […] This allows us to make sound decisions.
