We are all human.

Everyone deserves to be treated with respect. We are all human beings, we are living creatures with feelings and character and lives of our own; our own issues. 
We must be respectful, but we do not need to make time for those who are disrespectful towards us, we have no obligation to them. 

The way that we treat people is our own choice, in our power, why would we choose to use this power for anything but good? If saying hello to someone on the street makes them smile, then is it not worth the two seconds that it took to acknowledge them? 

If someone treats you unfairly or disrespects you, it is fully in your power to choose how you react. The minute that you begin letting people have a negative impact on you, influencing you to have negative reactions and experiences in life, you begin to lose yourself, your strength, your voice. 

No matter a person's wealth, gender, sexuality, education, and so on, no body deserves to be treated with disrespect. You deserve to be treated like a human being, just like all of those that have graced and who continue to touch your life.  

Those who are constantly treating others poorly, or judging people based on anything other than their actions, have poor values, I worry for them and hope that their journey helps them develop a better understanding of the world, opening their mind, to learn and grow.
