If you respect yourself, then you will respect others and others will respect you. If you respect yourself, then you will respect Nature and Mother Earth because you are a part of nature.

Respect, a very powerful word that brings to mind a lot of questions.
Everyone wants respect but how many of us respect ourselves? How many of us truly respect others?

How many of us respect that which gives us life, Nature?

How many of us respect our common heritage, Planet Earth?

By the way, does respect even exist or is it just a cultural, social or societal norm that we all must incorporate in our lives?
My mind is actually bubbling with a lot of questions about respect because when I look at the World we live in today, I feel and see a lot of disrespect than respect.
It’s even easier to define disrespect and point out situations of disrespect like every second.

Respect, what does it mean?

If you ask me what respect is, I will say in one word that it’s “dignity”.

I will say to respect means affirm the inalienable dignity of the human person and the planet, Earth. To respect means to affirm, cherish and appreciate your life and the life of other people as well as the Planet.
A lot of you are already asking why I keep mentioning nature and planet Earth but I think the reason is simple; we are a part of nature and if we destroy nature, we destroy ourselves likewise if we protect nature, we protect life. So we cannot talk about respect without talking about the foundation of life.
Self-respect therefore is having pride and confidence in who you are and most especially affirming your dignity. It’s about living cherishing your life and if you cherish your life then you must cherish the environment in which you live in and cherish other people’s lives because they are what give you life. We’ve got just one life and self-respect means cherishing and protecting this one-life as well as cherishing and protecting the one-life of others.

How can we nurture self-respect?

  1. Affirm the inalienable dignity of the human person. Humans, we’ve got just one life and we have to respect this life, take care of it and make sure we live it to its fullest potentials without destroying it or destroying the lives of others.
  2. Affirming that we are a part of nature and that if we destroy nature, we destroy ourselves and if we protect nature, we protect and guarantee our life and the life of our future generations for posterity.
  3. Being honest. Honesty is a very powerful virtue and being honest with oneself and with other people is very important in nurturing self-respect.
  4. Good health and Love are important in nurturing self-respect. Staying healthy is respecting yourself and loving yourself is respecting yourself. If you love who you are, you will throw out the compare game, stop criticizing yourself and be more confident about who you are.
  5. Affirming that we one people irrespective of age, sex, race, religion etc, united in diversity and that if we treat each other with the way we treat ourselves, then we will be creating a more thriving, just and sustainable world.

This is what I could put together for this week’s @ecotrain Question of the Week by @eco-alex and I hope you can find a thing or two that can inspire you to continue to respect and affirm the inalienable dignity of the human person.

respect requires a form of humility. that means realizing all systems are integrated. socially and mechanically. if we do not live and work together we are doomed.

You nailed it with this, @mr-greens: "Affirming that we one people irrespective of age, sex, race, religion etc, united in diversity and that if we treat each other with the way we treat ourselves, then we will be creating a more thriving, just and sustainable world."

Loving the green signature-logo pants. :)

i just spotted this ! sorry i missed it, but better late than never! some great and also unique nurturing ideas you have shared with us, wow.. i think i might have to put EVERYONES suggestions in one list because there are SO many amazing one!

<3

I like it how you connected the respect for nature with self-respect, it really has sense. We are a part of nature and yes, the lack of self-respect can be directly connected with that one for nature. I loved reading this and I really love your new green pants! 💚
