That was perfect. I am a firm believer in Chivalry. My father was an inspiring example of how to live that life. His life formed the bedrock of my life. This is why parenting is so crucial — to instill these values in new generations. I read my children all the classic literature, chivalrous tales and historical legends that epitomize this behavior. Roland, Arthur, William Wallace, Parsifal Sam, Frodo and so many others. Now they read them to my grandchildren. It is a way of life that can be found in out of the way places.
Thank you. It is so inspiring to see someone resonate with these ideas and articulate them so well. Bravo!
I'm glad, to be honest my own father was also an inspiring example of how to not live life when he young but when he hit middle-aged he became an example of how to live one's life and became very chivalrous honestly his life formed the bedrock of my own so can relate.
And very true abotu it being found in out of the way places, and you're welcome I'm glad the essay resonated with you and that I articulated things in such a way that it appealed to you. I must admit to feeling clumsy at times with the pen and so worried about how this essay turned out.
This entire read was exceptional. Thank you. Just one person to carry this beautiful quality of chivalry, kindness and sacrifice. Just one and it will live on. There is so much power in that. ox
Here are lyrics from the musical Man of La Mancha, in the song Impossible Dream, that I also think fit this article’s theme:
And the world will be better for this
That one man, scorned and covered with scars
Still strove with his last ounce of courage
To fight the unbeatable foe
To reach the unreachable star
Yes, we are all better off when we see someone stick to principles and do the right thing despite personal cost. It stirs something in us, and the memory of such courage is sung long after the event passes.
Don't let it be forgot,
that once there was a spot,
for one brief shining moment,
that was known as Camelot.
Magnifique, did you compose that poem yourself?
No, it’s a lyric from the musical Camelot.
Haven't seen that one, I'll have to remedy that error.
JFK used to listen to a record of it every night before bed
Interesting

Thanks! I was worried about the quality here, and whether it was up to snuff, I truly do appreciate your kind words.

Very well said, I like that way of thinking.
