Do you have respect for your fellow human being?

Question

I won't act like I'm some type of angel. There were times when I had some prejudice and bigotry, I won't deny it, but I'm over these times now. Ethnicity, race, gender, religious beliefs, sexual orientation, political views...etc are all superficial to me now. I mean don't we all bleed the same color? Don't we all have hearts & minds? Why should we let some stupid things make us forget our humanity? I'm not better than you, and you're not better than me: We both will live for a limited time and leave this place we call life. So why waste it on hating? I know this sounds idealistic, but the hope is always there.

Thoughts?

Answer 1

I respect everyone because I believe in karma. Though I don't get the same respect I deserve back. We are all one family and should love one another and work together to find peace, love one another.

Answer 2

Well, you are too idealistic, that`s good, but get real, we are not in the same level, you are maybe another human being who works hard for the money, I am in the other side, I pay my employees to think for me, so, get real, we crap the same color, but while I do crap in my million dollar house, you crap in a rented house. salù

Answer 3

Well said. I always try to respect others.
Go civilization!
