I have always believed in being kind and respectful, but have never had much tolerance for "silly rules". I fear I would have been somewhat of a radical in terms of the manners and customs of the time. There were so many ridiculous mores that I would have scoffed at. It is just in my nature to question nonsensical ideas and actions. I would certainly have been judged for choosing not to judge others according to their social standing, but rather by their kindness and sincerity.
