If you need a reason to respect yourself — you don’t respect yourself.

If there is a condition under which you respect yourself — you don’t respect yourself.

If you create a condition under which you respect yourself, you are creating a condition under which you don’t respect yourself.

If you create a condition under which you respect others, you create a condition under which you don’t respect others.

 

Setting up a condition is basically causing a FRICTION.

It’s a friction of reality.

Reality is obviously what-is, reality is reality.

Now you break it in two with your expectations of others.

 

What you fail to understand is that human existence comprises all the conditions you created to respect and to disrespect.

What you fail to understand is that those you “respect” are no different, elementarily, to those you “disrespect”.

We are all fruits of the same psychological processes… we are all, basically, obviously, human.

You disrespecting somebody is basically you not understanding the (whole) human psyche.

It is basically you separating humanity in half, when this really is a whole.

It is basically you creating a false sense of separation between people, when really, there is none.

Not one that matters, anyway.

Not one that is ultimately meaningful.

 

The whole notion of “respect” is merely a function of acquisitive, contentious EGO.

You don’t even have to operate from such a low-level paradigm.

You can distinguish people on the level of their outside relations, i.e. with someone you have professional relations and with someone romantic and with someone no relations at the moment.

The catch is to not create any psychological separation, no sense of superiority, no sense of inequality… no idea of respect whatsoever.

For this very respect is basically disrespect.

Respect EVERYONE THE SAME, which basically means – don’t respect no one.

Get rid of the idea of respect altogether.

It is only then that you can actually truly, completely respect yourself.

It is only then that you can truly, completely love yourself.

And love this entire existence.
