\"DO<\/a><\/p>

Every person and every other type of innocent creature deserves respect, although if someone does not show it, it may not be necessary to respect them either.<\/p>

Unfortunately, many societies have unjustly despised and victimized animals and harmless human groups, such as women, LGBTQ+, outcasts, black people and people of mixed heritage, Native Americans and people of mixed heritage, Asians, Jews, and other ethnic and religious groups. This also includes slaves, people with albinism, red-haired women, people with disabilities, homeless people or people with low incomes, those who think differently, those who do not belong to a particular religion or decide to leave one… and the list goes on.<\/p>

Let’s respect a cleaner as much as a queen, and a sex worker as much as a judge. Let us respect a beggar as much as a notary, a porn actress as much as a surgeon, and an unattractive woman as much as a beautiful one. However, to the extent that someone causes harm that is not in legitimate self-defense, they may be losing their reputation.<\/p>

Let’s respect those who are different: the nerd, the fat, the dwarf, the mentally ill and the person living with HIV. Let’s respect the person with Down syndrome and the gifted eccentric, the person who dresses extravagantly and the one who dresses discreetly, the one who grooms him\/herself ostentatiously and the one who does so in a cheap or even tacky way. And also the woman who dresses extremely modestly and the one who dresses very revealingly, the cleanliness-obsessed person and the one who is dirty and unkempt, the very conventional person and the one who breaks social norms, as long as they do not cause any unjustified harm.<\/p>

Read LIVE WITHOUT HARMING: Appreciate diversity<\/a><\/span><\/em><\/p>

Let’s have neither reverential, servile respect nor disrespect, but rather healthy respect.<\/p>

Every sentient being has innate dignity, at least insofar as they do not harm any innocent being. Therefore, let’s not take away that dignity. Let us not degrade, devalue, or demonize innocent beings, let alone trample on them and objectify them. On the contrary, let us create an environment in which no one has to be ashamed of anything other than having caused harm that was not in legitimate self-defence.<\/p>

And let’s instill in children a culture of respect, in families and schools, since their brains are like clay, and if we shape them beautifully, they will probably remain that way once they dry.<\/p>
