Knowing How To Act

Some people are just polite, diplomatic, considerate and well-mannered. They may be that way naturally, but with most of us, is is a civilized, learned behavior.

Knowing how to act, then, for an adult is a taught system of rules. Raising an honest, decent person requires year of ethical apprenticeship. It is a result not a happy accident that a young person is well-behaved.

It is the Golden Rule applied with a smattering of egoist insight tossed in for good measure.
