- Go to If One Doesn't Respect Others, One Has No Respect For One's Self
I wonder if sometimes it isn't the other way...
that it begins with respecting oneself. If I 'm not loving me, I'm not going to love anyone else, because I can only come to them full of my need and pain and sadness.

yes, sannhet
that is good. what made me understand was realizing that my brother is my self. he and i are not separate, and what i do with regard to him is what i experience. therefore, to strike him is to feel the pain (psychologically, which is far worse). great post.

our respect for others reflects
our respect for ourselves.
