Table Manners 2

Table Manners Brutality

Table manners as the emphasis of the gap between the natural order and forced order. The uptight and so called considerate polite and well-mannered eating opposed to eating naturally, openly and harmoniously without disturbing the other. He can take on the Suit of Manners whenever he want to, masterfully, as a willful choice, understanding that at times playing to the saying: “When in Rome…” is the wise thing to do.

Slavery to the forced order and the hierarchies of politeness that are extracted from it, distances us from attentiveness to our true nature, and begets inability of true gratefulness for the food and sincere thankfulness for those who prepared it for us. – Is this polite?

Are manners, as they are imposed by the Victorian behavioral fixations, not hypocritical? Isn’t hypocrisy rude and crude by nature?

True Manners

What you already are is already alright and correct. The natural order evolves from true self love, which is always beautiful, always good, and always respects the other. Loving others is always polite, always courteous and respectful.
