Chivalry
The first thing that comes to my mind when I first think of chivalry, I think of knights and dragons and damsels in distress. It's not something we consider in today's society. You've heard it before, chivalry is dead, but I disagree. It doesn't leave any room for us to be better people again. Chivalry isn't dead; it's taking a power nap, and I think it's time for us to wake it up.
To me, chivalry isn't just about brave knights coming to rescue helpless princesses and serving the king and god. It's having the courage to always do what you know is right, regardless of what happens or what other people think. Our society has the idea that the "bad" "hard ass" image is cool.

Knowing that you have someone you can count on is absolutely the most encouraging thing in any difficult situation.
Which brings me to courage. Courage isn't not being afraid of anything; people who aren't afraid of anything are stupid. Courage is seeing what needs to be done and doing it even though it scares you. Real bravery is facing the things that scare you.
I think that generosity is underrated. I don't necessarily mean giving people things; it's more than that. Generosity is going out of your way to do something for someone else just because you can, not because you have to. It's what you do for other people without getting anything in return, just to make things easier for them. Besides, doing something that makes someone else feel good will almost always make you feel good
