I Respect Everyone Irrespective of where we come from

20/7/21

One thing I've learnt in life is that relationship matters. How people view you or how they address you depends on how you present yourself to them.

And I have a mantra I so much believe in, what goes round will surely come around.

Respect is reciprocal they say, wherever you go or wherever you are, let people know you as a good person.

Well I'm not saying you should love everyone . But you need to Respect everyone irrespective of who they are or what they do.

No matter where we are all from, country, tribe, language or what have you. One love bounds us together.

Do not judge a book by its cover.

The content of the book should be what spices you up.

You need to stop spreading rumours(by rumour I mean wrong info) about a person. Try to be a giver of love. Keep spreading love and light.

You need to stop gossiping about people in their absence, we have lots of people that would pretend to love you in your presence but work against you behind you.

If you are annoyed at what someone does to you, then tell them straight forward or if you don't like them just let them know instead of pretending to love them.

Yeah, I also know that it's not possible to achieve this feat of being open in one day or through out our lives but we can still give it a trial because it's worth it .

And we seriously need to learn that we really don't know what other people are going through and our actions might put them off.

I think it is very important to learn to have empathy for everybody, or for at least as many people as we can.

I can love my friends, my family, my partner, those I know, and those that I don't. I can admire the people I respect, but may not actually know.

Some people might disgust me, some may annoy me, others may even fill me with rage. But I still have to have empathy for them all.

Probably I go to a supermarket for shopping and the person working at the cash register was rude to me.

I didn’t do anything to warrant rudeness, but I have no idea what such person is going through. Maybe they just lost a member of their family. Maybe they were just asked to work an additional shift without any break.

Lots of things could have been wrong with such person and I’m not going to do any more thing to make their life's more miserable.

I’m just going to leave them to their anger with a smile. When you kill them with kindness, it reminds them that there are many good things in life.

Hate and apathy are weights and burdens I choose not to carry. I don’t want to be surrounded by negativity, I need to surround myself with positive things.

I forgive people when they hurt me because I don’t want to have grudges with anyone or hold on to anger, because I decide to put whatever anyone have done to wrong me behind me.

That doesn’t mean I keep those people in my life if they don't deserveto be, I just forgive and forget.

Permit me to give a shoutout to all I've met on this community, I've not met them in person, but you all have earned my respect.

I don't know if I'll keep going on this platform if you all had not accepted me with joy, even though we've never met.
