Civility Over Politeness

People shouldn't be treated as disposable pawns, but with respect and civility. The distinction between politeness and civility lies in the genuineness of respect - politeness is superficial, while civility is internal. Civility involves viewing others as moral equals deserving basic respect, even if it means engaging in uncomfortable conversations or giving tough love. The world needs more civility, where genuine respect and love are prioritized over mere appearances of politeness.
