If you expect respect from others, show it first to yourself. You can’t expect from others what you don’t give to yourself.

Remove all the walls and curtains so you can get closer and purely love. Have principles but do not use them to exclude or to judge the others. Stay far from idols, specially from those you made from your own principles. Have a powerful faith, but do not play the powerful.
