Mutual respect is earned.
Greetings friends all, I hope you are having a good time. Today I want to share a thought with you and that is respect for others.
Respect is something that we can all develop little by little as we go through life. We get to know the importance of each thing, each species, each human being, this is how we know that we are not the axis of the earth, but that it is a whole.
I read a story that left me thinking a lot about the importance of respecting each other and not only to respect each other in words, but also in deeds, in gestures, in ways of being.
I had to live the fact that I was formed with my own ideas since I started studying in a technical school, I received good examples from many people I met who are no longer here today. I was loved by many people who gave me their best talks to explain their way of seeing life.
I understood that there is room for everyone, that the homeless person who is on the street all smelly and dressed in rags was once a person from a home that perhaps did not pay adequate attention to him and that due to lack of education he was thrown out on the street. This homeless man learned to defend himself by being rude and finding no better way to live but to beg.
As I began to write on the platforms almost four years ago, I began to see the small insects as beings that also interact with the environment for the benefit of humans.
I tell you that some years ago I hated toads and frogs. I did not give them a chance to live in my garden. Life taught me a lesson when a plague of snails came to my garden and in one night, they killed my plants. I tried to exterminate them and I couldn't but suddenly I saw how a toad ate a snail and I decided to read about the tastes of toads and I learned that they have snails on their menu.
Did you see how I ended up being friends with toads? They can live in my garden whether there are snails or not because they are defenseless, they don't harm anyone and they are always in the shade.
I saw the ladybugs and I liked them but I didn't know much about them so I started to take their pictures and share them on the platform, but first I found out about the life they lead. I shared that knowledge.
Respect goes hand in hand with knowledge, it is the way to live without prejudice about other living beings. It is not good to speak or act without having a justified reason to do bad actions. When we learn about the lives of other living beings around us, we learn that they also deserve life and respect, by learning we allow ourselves to grow and value what we have around us.
To stop living in complaint for what we have and what we don't have is also disrespectful. The one who has fought so hard for what he has deserves our respect and not on the contrary our discredit, for the fact that we are ignorant of the life he has had to lead to achieve what he now has.
My friends I am only sharing part of my personal experiences on how I have learned to respect people and other living beings without disrespect because they are less qualified in their lives, homes, jobs, environment, etc. I always managed with respect the subordinate staff that I had when I started working since I was 15 years old in hospitals. Because I saw that most of my superiors did that, I do not like injustice.
Since then, I kept learning and reached the point that by being on these platforms in addition to learning about cryptocurrencies I have learned about a very different world that I did not know.

We destroy what we can't understand. We don't respect what we don't know anything about. That's why education, understanding of others, knowing more about others and things around us will make us understand them more and respect them more.
