I stumbled walking into class yesterday and some guy made a wise remark about how "gracious" I was. "I like to think I am gracious, actually," I retorted, "but the word you're looking for is graceful." "Same thing," he mumbled,
and I spent the rest of the class pondering how truly different the two
are. Nobody is graceful, when you really think about it. We're all trying to make it through life 挣扎求生, stumbling as we go, making mistakes, goofing up. To be graceful is to have finesse
( [fɪˈnes] I. a delicate and skillful quality in the way you move or
handle something. II. skill in dealing with difficult situations,
especially situations in which you might easily offend people. If you do
something with finesse, you do it with great skill and style. ...handling momentous diplomatic challenges with tact and finesse 从容有度. ), to be so skilled in some area that you make it look easy. In life, we simply aren't made for that. Sure, one can be a graceful athlete, or a graceful speaker, or even a graceful writer, but "graceful" defines elegance of action. "Gracious," on the other hand, defines elegance of spirit. Gracious people seek to make their hearts kind and pure, putting others before themselves and forgiving those who wrong them. Gracious people keep their lives gentle, merciful and just. Gracious people help when they don't have to, show respect when they don't need to, and give when they don't want to. Gracious people are not graceful. Or at least, at some point they weren't. To be graceful is to have it all together. Graceful people don't make mistakes.
The most compassionate people are compassionate because they have
likely been in a place in their life where they needed compassion more
than anything else. A very gracious woman once told me, "We show grace because we have had grace shown to us." Gracious people are quite possibly the ones who have stumbled the most. Gracious is when your mom saves you the last cupcake when she could have eaten it and you'd have never known. Gracious is the girl who is nice to everyone regardless of their social status. Gracious are the teachers who went above and beyond every day to make high school suck a little less for you.
Gracious are the classmates who study with you even when they don't
need to, because they're rooting for you as much as they are for
themselves. Gracious people understand that candles lose nothing by lighting other candles.
Gracious people are gracious when no one else is looking. I haven't yet
decided if graciousness is innate, though. I'd like to believe it is,
but I'm often just not sure. I am impatient, jealous, and sometimes spiteful, but I do my very best to live a gracious life.
I fail, I embarrass myself, I cry. I am probably the least graceful
human you will ever meet, but only when we own our insecurities can we
begin to overcome them. And overcoming this insecurity is deciding that I
don't care. I don't care if I'm graceful. I just want to be gracious.
OFF THE RAILS: Brazen fare beaters 逃票问题, 逃票者 drain Dem-run city millions of dollars, crime surges: Nearly 30% of New York City bus riders and 8% of subway users aren't paying their fare — costing the city millions of dollars a year, according to new data released by the state-operated Metropolitan Transportation Authority. At least 50 people in one hour dodged the $2.75 fare 逃票 Monday morning at the 34th Street-Herald Square station across the street from Macy's flagship store. A Fox News Digital videographer captured footage of waves of fare beaters in Midtown Manhattan climbing over turnstiles and streaming through an exit door — many in view of 当着面, 众目睽睽下 transit cops. "By starving the public transportation system of funds, fare evasion is a crime against ordinary New Yorkers who pay their fare," MTA spokesman Aaron Donovan said. "That's why the NYPD and NYC Transit deploy enforcement teams to combat bus and subway fare evasion on a daily basis. Fare beaters have cost the city an estimated $179 million in the last six months, according to the MTA's latest report. The estimated fare evasion rate on subways has declined from 13.6% in the third quarter of 2020 to 7.9% in the fourth quarter of 2021, according to the MTA. On buses the number of estimated fare evaders has shot up from 18% in the fourth quarter of 2019 to 26.7% for the same period in 2021. "This is a problem that can be contagious because if people don't pay their fare, and other people see that, they say, 'Why should I have to pay?'" said John Jay College professor Vincent Del Castillo, who was the city's transit chief from 1987 to 1990. He did warn against drawing conclusions based on conduct observed at a single station. In the last three months of 2021, police issued about 28,000 tickets for violations of transit rules — including for dodging payment. Under former Mayor Ed Koch (1978-1989), plainclothes officers were assigned to stations that were known to have high levels of non-payment. They would hand out tickets for a week or two and the fare evasion rate would plummet, Del Castillo said. "It was very effective mainly because it interfered with people's movement," he said. "Usually they're in a hurry and want to get somewhere, and if they're stopped and have to show their ID and get a summons, it delays them." Fare beating often goes hand in hand 有关联的 with criminality, according to some experts. Del Castillo said that in the 1980s, law enforcement noticed that people who were committing crimes in the subway generally had a history of fare evasion. New York City Mayor Eric Adams, a former police captain who took office in January, announced a plan Friday to revamp the subway system's safety and security practices by targeting fare beaters, rampant homelessness and crime.
