Guide for the Perplexed
Politeness is another virtue promoted by the Law. Man shall listen to the words of his neighbour; he shall not be obstinate, but shall yield to the wish of his fellow-men, respond to their appeal, act according to their desire, and do what they like. Thus the Law commands, “Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiff-necked” (Deut. 10:16); “Take heed and hearken” (ibid. 27:9). “If you be willing and obedient” (Isa. 1:19). Those who listen [to the words of others] and accept as much as is right are represented as saying, “We will hear and do” (Deut. 5:24), or in a figurative style, “Draw me, we will run after thee” (Song 1:4).
