manners of the heart
that explains exactly what is meant by manners of the heart, and in my humble opinion it perfectly fits the Slovenian srcna kultura.
Another possibility would be goodheartedness, but I prefer the former.
Except that too often we let our manners become mere rituals. We forget their real intent. Mary-Lou knows what really matters to other people - because she cares. And because she cares, she tries to figure out what's important to you, what will make you f

Pomanjkanje srčne kulture, vsekakor! :) Zdaj pa to prevedi :)
| Nisem tako prepricana, da je izraz res v uporabi. Mimogrede, Tomi, ampak zakaj je vse, kar je povezano s srcnostjo direktno za v "zensko revijo" ali "poceni roman"? Ah....potem se pa moski pritozujejo, da jih zenske ne razumemo...[double ah] Lep pizdrav! |

Celo noc sem razmisljal in koncno mi je kapnilo na pament: manners of the heart. Zato lahko zgornji odgovor abstrahirate.
