I have come to believe over and over again that what is most important to me is respect. Respect can make or break a perfect world. Imagine it: a world all the same, but with tolerance derived from respect. Respect does not mean adopting others’ opinions or perspective, but rather acknowledging and understanding their beliefs. For example, I am pro-choice. I believe the choice is up to the person carrying/parenting the child. If you disagree, I will tolerate your difference of opinion rather encourage you to be proud of what you believe in or what you stand for. Express your individualism, it’s what makes you, you! Take pride in yourself!
You get what you give. As the old saying goes, “Treat others how you want to be treated.” Without a doubt, respect is something we all desire and deserve.
