Etiquette

Etiquette to society is like clothing to a person. Without wearing clothes, a person is naked and laughable, leading inevitably to the degeneration of morality; a society without etiquette may fall into a desperate situation, and the necessary interactions among the members of a society will be needlessly disturbed by conflicts and disputes. If a society was a train, etiquette would be its track, along which the train rolls. If a society was a carriage boarded with honored guests, etiquette would be its wheels and axils, upon which the carriage depends to rattle onward. Without etiquette, the most intimate friends may become archenemies and friendly or allied nations may go to war. We can find many such cases in human history. Therefore, I plead that you pay attention to the rules of etiquette, and try not to violate them, so as not to offend others and make enemies.
