She gets angry like everyone else. She can be at times sad, frustrated, lazy, etc., like everyone else because she is human. She doesn’t look down on anyone, though in my opinion she could, if she thought that way, because she is so much better of a human being than so many others; but she never would even think of looking down on anyone else. She is kind, good, generous, and loving, as a friend, as a colleague, as a wife, mother, sister, and daughter. But she is not without her opinions, and she expresses them in an even handed, thoughtful way. She listens to people, she understands them, and she accepts them. She is a really busy person who works and cares for her family. She has no time in the physical world to engage in negative energy, and she would probably not take the time if she did. When she has time to be introspective, she is thoughtful and looks inward to find the solution to any problem. When she has time to enjoy the world around her, she is thoughtful and generous spirited about the things and people in it.
A lady is someone who is a ‘good’ woman and a ‘good’ person. She is someone with ideas of her own and who is not afraid to express them. She is someone who lives her life by her own values and standards and allows others to lives their lives by theirs. She is someone who does what needs to be done to build and live a life that is productive and whole, who treats herself and those around her with respect and dignity.
A gentleman is the same. A true gentleman would never tell any woman she is not a lady. He would not because gentlemen and ladies do not insult other people. They have too much dignity of spirit to do so.
