Mankind has little respect, if any at all, for our fellow human beings. As individual’s we do need to be happy, to enjoy life and what it has to offer, but not to the degree of total selfishness. Like it or not we are not alone in this world for we share it with billions of other people and compromises have to be made.
Just because a person has different views, beliefs, culture, wealth, or property is no excuse for the disrespect that is so prevalent in our society today. And the irony is that those people who so blatantly disregard showing any respect for people and property often accuse others that they are being treated unfairly! Respect is a joint venture.

Respect is something that is earned, after all it does not cost anything to be polite, and a person has so much to gain as a human being. The level of respect a person shows seems to be connected to their own spirituality, philosophy and value on life.
However, a lot of people have little or no respect for themselves. Maybe they have self-low esteem, lack self-confidence, have a selfish cavalier attitude on life, or just do not like certain traits in their personality. Whatever the reason, it is never too late to change and start sharing this world.
First of all, give yourself some self-respect and then make a fellow human being happy by showing them some respect, and why not extend this respect to the animal kingdom and property as well.
