Respect yourself and others will respect you. –Confucius
Respect means non-violation. It means being seen and feeling heard. It means you are aware of the differences and choose to “live and let live” as best you can. Respect does not mean agreement or compliance. It does not mean being liked or liking the other. It means being respected for who you are. This includes respect for who you love, what you believe. what you do, your boundaries, your time. Will you treat me with dignity? Respect matters!
