The unwritten rules

In basketball, you don’t step under the feet of shooters or dive for loose balls that undercut someone; when a defender is in the air that bought the pump fake, you don’t “shoot,” you don’t run up the score once the game is decided…and so on.

It’s considered a good sport even if the rule isn’t written.

The beauty of these rules is that we follow them because we are assuming the best of each other.

In our culture today, we forget all the unwritten rules that make society great and function. We also need to remember to teach others so that we never forget them.
