Chivalry ~ Dead or Alive?
My brother Kevin, a junior in college, was driving with his friends, Jimmy and Marcellino. When they saw an elderly lady picking weeds out of the sidewalk in front of her house, Kevin and Jimmy said, “We should go help her.” Marcellino laughed, thinking they were joking. He was shocked to find that they were absolutely serious. “I don’t do that!” Marcellino stated flatly. He literally waited in the car while Kevin and Jimmy helped the little old lady. Ever since, Marcellino has joked about the incident at school and teased them. He doesn’t seem to understand… Kevin and Jimmy are proud of it!!!
Such chivalry as displayed here is not entirely gone, but why is it so hidden and rare that some people do not even know what it is?
