There’s not a whole lot of respect going on in the world, and for some reason, respect for others is not formally taught in school.

But it should be.

The course title would be long, but inclusive; something like:

“How to be kind and respectful of all people no matter their political, religious, or sexual preference or physical, mental or emotional disabilities or cultural differences.”

For starters, the coursework could be summarized this way:

  • Do your best in whatever you attempt, and in every attempt, you will succeed.
  • Always hold forgiveness and love in your heart, and your needs — whatever they may be, will never go unfulfilled.
  • Be a beacon of light to everyone who chooses or refuses to see you. In doing so, your carefree spirit will glow, you will become a magnet of peace, and the world — and everyone in it — will become your graceful and protective shelter.
  • Know that you are loved — and that you are a beautiful child — in a world filled with other beautiful children. More than anything…
