Respect
Doreene Felder 1967 (Phila.)
Respect
Remembering to treat others as you love to be treated
Each person has their own definition of what respect is
Seeing things in a rearview mirror only shows what's coming at you.
Personalizing what you already saw before you
Each of us has our own faults which over succeeds what we see as right
Creating a disaster or not
Treating others as you treat yourself is the best way to know if you are disrespecting
Yourself or someone else .
