It’s pretty simple: all humans are created equal and have the right to be treated equally and with dignity.
The creed and practice of a successful person demands the consistent practice of respect. Period.
Without the consistent personal practice of respect for others, the idea of having been a success in life, for example – only because you made a lot of money or had great power or fame, becomes a self-serving delusion, and makes no sense.
“We should all consider each other as human beings, and we should respect each other.” Malala Yousafzai
“Nothing is more despicable than respect based on fear.” Albert Camus
“The respect that is only bought by gold is not worth much.” Frances Ellen Watkins Harper
