Polite sincere

Elwood is very polite, always "after you!" when entering the door with others. When he said this, he felt fresh and natural, like a spring breeze. I think that a colleague in the company is similar, he will say "good morning" when meeting people in the morning, and he will also make a gesture of "please first" when he goes out of the elevator with everyone. After some time, I felt that his behavior was hypocritical. Perhaps in the eyes of others, my feelings are too sensitive, and it is not easy for others to implement it over the years, so why pick faults. This colleague of mine has studied in the United States, maybe he has watched this classic film, maybe he is just imitating the politeness of the protagonist. For comparison, in addition to the superficial politeness of Elwood, what is more memorable is his heartfelt communication, inviting friends to participate in the party, and being considerate of friends. These are exactly what my colleague lacks. It can be seen that the difference between the outside and the inside will make people feel quite uncomfortable, and no matter how much work is done on the surface, it will not be inferior to the sincerity of the heart. Politeness requires sincerity, and sincerity is truly polite!
