People do the same things at weddings. You do not go to a simcha for the food rather to celebrate the people who are having the simcha. Too often people forget that.aminspirationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02226594722883362146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2096776708897685863.post-25973187675446885732012-02-05T18:57:42.394-05:002012-02-05T18:57:42.394-05:00While growing up, we had a 2 year course in ethics...While growing up, we had a 2 year course in ethics/etiquette in our public school in Russia. We were taught how to set the table, how to behave at the table, how to give/accept gifts, etc. Unfortunately, it didn't really "stick" with everyone. I have a feeling that with people you are describing that course wouldn't stick either. it's not that they don't know what's appropriate - one doesn't need a course to realize that disparaging people who have just hosted you is rude and disgusting. Some people are just judgmental and negative and have a need to criticize everything. If the full meal were served, they would complain about hosts who are so rich, they don't know what to do with their money. I could almost pity these people - almost - because they only see negative in everything and poison their own lives and those close to them.SubWifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10130118656023678187noreply@blogger.com
