Today's word: decency

noun de·cen·cy \ˈdē-sən-sē\
: polite, moral, and honest behavior and attitudes that show respect for other people

How do you define decency into your perception? How do you show/make use of it in your behavioural attitudes.

    With strangers I treat them as I would want to be treated, treating them as individuals.

    With my friends I show Support, Loyalty and Honesty. 

    Decency to me is really very simple. It is showing concern for others and showing empathy, not sympathy. Empathy enables: sympathy cripples.

    Lovely. Treating people with respect and showing empathy. There's not that more to add on it, is there? Thank you so much. :-)

    I do unto others as I would have them decently do unto moi.

    Decency to me is having some sort of moral code.  It's having a bar that you hold up for yourself, always striving to do what's right.

    Morals or values do certainly come in to my mind as well, as does the aim for ourselves to live up to them. Thank you. :-)

    You find it fun making one harassing comment each day?

    Such a big boy "Al". Aren't you? Better get done before mommy gets home!
