Well, after a long hibernate at last i get some time to drop by a few lines into this blog...... :P .. This article was based one of the writters who write this article but i am really like this article. So i decided to share this article with you all.......
Where there is equality there is no respect. And then I mean as valuation on good and bad, large and small. Think highly of, honor and respect (good), Think little of, disrespect, and despise (bad).
When we are equal we are neither larger nor smaller than others and therefore neither look up to nor down on anybody.
Respect can only thrive in comparison with lesser or no respect. We think higher of one than another.In same way self-respect is our value of ourselves and not necessarily compared to others but also compared to what or how we could have been if... If we value ourselves as lesser than then our self-respect is also lesser.If we value ourselves as better than then we see ourselves as respectable.
High and low value of respect is in no accordance with reality. And never can be. We can very well value ourselves and others with great unfairness as well as fair and either way in no accordance with reality.
To value another, whether like this or that, is in itself unfair.We value respect highly and see it as indispensable factor in our lives. And by that we look pass the fact that respect is in fact fear. And then it makes no difference whether it is little or much, for us or from us.To see oneself as lesser or better than other, is fear.
When we see someone as respectable (better than) we see ourselves as lesser than and that is underestimation that often shows itself as weakness or interiority complex, which is fear.
That also applies when we value others as lesser, then we see ourselves as better than and that is overestimation that often shows itself is arrogance which also is fear.
If we don’t see ourselves as better or lesser than others and neither look up to or down on anyone we don’t have the need to show others respect or disrespect.It’s up to each of us to decide whether we choose to create equality, which is peace or respect, which is fear..
Yours truly
