Kindness & Respect

 One principle to follow strictly in life is to treat everyone you meet with kindness and respect no matter the circumstances. How can anyone be angry at you when you show compassion towards them? If someone says some unkind and hurtful words, how will they feel when expecting rebuttal, you respond politely and respectfully? Sometimes things can happen and things out of your control will transpire unfortunately to your disliking. You don't know the circumstances by which another individual  may be under. So choose to not be rude, but rather understanding, patient, and forgiving. For what if you were in their shoes, how would you want to be treated? The answer to that question is obvious, with dignity and respect. So choose to be better today, both for yourself and the others around you.
