Good grief… not everything that is old is necessarily bad.
Manners, chivalry, respectful actions, dressing appropriately are the first that come to mind.
Why do adults think it is appropriate to chew with their mouth open? To smack their gum? To pop gum so loudly people across the room can hear?
Holding a door open, helping someone with their bags, placing a hand on the small of a woman's back as you lead her into a room… these things never get old.
Chivalry is often a clear path to intimacy on many levels- it convey a world of emotion in the gesture of a hand.
Wearing "play clothes" to work when you work in an office says a lot about you- not much of it good. Remember when we separated our play clothes from our school clothes? That's a good practice which also doesn't get old.
There are old souls in this world who may be young in years but who still value these "small" actions and recognize how they can distinguish a person.
I am an old soul.
I hope to find more old souls.
