Introduction
Our differences make us unique, and strangely it is also what binds us all together. Each of us has a very distinct perspective about life, influenced by life experiences, learnings, upbringing, environments, exposure, culture, religion, race, age, and so many other factors.
We may have similar thoughts and opinions, but no two people in the world are the same. It is this very inherent quality in each individual that ought to be acknowledged and respected. All of our interactions with other humans are built upon a sense of respect or, in some cases, a lack of it for the other.
It is respect that directly or indirectly defines one's hierarchy or standing in society, and this is often independent of economic or educational status. In fact, our happiness and well-being are intrinsically linked to how we treat others, and in turn, how we are treated.
Everybody Deserves To Be Respected
We may have major differences in opinion, but this does not dictate how we treat another. The basis of any relationship, be it personal or professional, is mutual respect. The degree of respect may vary depending on the person and at times even the situation, but it is arguably the single most important factor that decides the state of mind of every individual.
Why Is Respecting Others Important?
Respect, often, is expressed through simple actions such as listening to someone, acknowledging them, making time for someone, being polite, and appreciating the other. It need not be a case where you agree with all that a person says, but that you respect their point of view, as opposite as it may be to your own. This, in turn, harbours a sense of camaraderie, improves working relations, allows for better understanding and communication, and ultimately makes for a better environment for all.
Conclusion
Respecting others will bring peace and dignity to different types of people. The world can become a better place to live if everyone gives respect and gets in return. There may be a difference of opinions, but by being respectful of one another, even the most complex of matters can potentially be resolved through dialogue. What matters is that everyone is human, and humanity states that they all should be respected.
