» Tina_Coruth - So true!
Hi Lana,Your last sentence says it all, "There is no substitute to politeness, careful choice of kind words, avoidance of rudeness and practice of courtesy , regardless of cultures." Imagine the conflicts that could be avoided between people, between countries, cultures, and religions if these words were followed!
I really enjoyed your comparison of proverbs of Vietnam and the US. It shows that our basic philosphies are very much the same. This has been a very interesting series and I enjoyed it immensely. I always look forward to visiting -- you have a great topic!

In response to message posted by Renie_Burghardt:Thank you for your kind comment. I trust you had a great Mother's Day. It was a very busy day for me with all these cooking and baking for the extended family covered dish supper. I am glad it only comes around once a year. I hope you will have a wonderful week and see you soon :-)
