The essential element of courtesy, as well as of affection, is respect. But only when respect is expressed, in words, by manner, or by act, -- with grace and cheerfulness -- does it become courtesy. Grace is a charm or pleasantness, associated with something said or done when it is said or done with transparent sincerity and pleasure, -- not as a disagreeable duty, but as a happy privilege.
There is a very common, sham kind of politeness or courtesy which is only an imitation of the real kind. It imitates, as a monkey might, the words, manners, and acts of true courtesy, but does not know anything about the foundation of respect, sincerity, and happy cheerfulness that belong with it. This kind is, of course, a fraud -- like counterfeit money or anything else that pretends to be what it is not.
1 Peter 3:8
Finally, all of you, be like-minded, be sympathetic, love one another, be compassionate and humble.
