Simplified Meaning:
A true gentleman always takes care to consider how his actions and words will affect others. This means he pays attention and thinks before he speaks or acts. Imagine you're at a party and a friend makes a joke, but it's funnier for everyone except the person it's about. A gentleman would avoid making such jokes in the first place because he understands that sparing feelings is important. It's like being thoughtful and considerate, making sure not to offend or upset others even by accident. To apply this in everyday life, think about what you say and do, and imagine how it might make others feel. This simple habit can help you build stronger, more positive relationships with people around you.
