Choosing Civility

I am interested in the concept of consideration, because I think it is one of the easiest aspects of behaviour to have a hard time with. When people are inconsiderate, it is not the case that they deliberately wish another person ill. Rather, it is that they fail to realize that they are doing or not doing something that, as a result, inconveniences another person. They simply and honestly fail to think about that person. This aspect of inconsiderate behaviour, that it is an error of omission, makes it very challenging to avoid. Consequently, in my own journey towards becoming a considerate person, I am considering buying Choosing Civility: The Twenty-five Rules of Considerate Conduct. If I do buy it, it will be my first foray into the world of e-books. Exciting!
