Etiquette, good manners and courtesy should be based on sound principles. It is not possible to please people going against all principles of honesty, decency and love. To tell a lie, to appear good, to steal to help a poor person, to remain silent when called to defend the innocence of a person, to trample the rights of a poor person, to help a rich person are against principles of decency.
Friendliness too should be based on sound principles. A friend cannot be always right. All that a friend says and does cannot be accepted. It is not possible to say, yes to all that a friend says. Sometimes, it is necessary to say a firm, no, too. Principle based friendship can help personality growth. Such friendship can withstand many obstacles and difficulties to life and emerge victorious in the long run.
All areas of life whether it is at the highest or lowest level should be based on principles. Leaders and subjects, employers and employees, teachers and students, parents and children and human beings must follow principles of life. A double personality has no principles. to use weasel words according to circumstances cannot be based on etiquette.
