Chivalry

If we are discussing Lewis' idea of chivalry, which we are, we must first establish that we are not speaking of opening doors and pushing in chairs. Chivalry is Strength and Humility.

Strength and Humility.

Chivalry (as strength and humility), is not something that ought to be debated-- whether it exists, who uses it, does it fit present day-- chivalry exists, and if it doesn't, it ought to. There is not a man alive who has any reason to be anything other than strong and humble. To be contrary is to be self-centered, which is perhaps the greatest crime to commit.

Also, humility should be one of a Christian's strongest traits.

That is all.
