Dignity and Respect

How we treat each other is so important, I am not sure that I can do it justice here.
When you work really hard at something, put everything you have into it and improve so much it is ridiculous and then have that completely disregarded and ignored, you gotta wonder.... Who teaches people to be nice to each other? Who teaches them to treat each other with dignity and respect at all times? The answer my friends is We Do! Our every action that involves other people, is teaching them how to treat the next guy. Let's say you are in the line at the grocery store and you are not having a good day. You are not out right grumpy to the cashier but you are not open or friendly either, what did you just teach that person by your actions? How do you think they are going to treat the next customer? How do you think they are going to treat the next cashier they encounter? Our actions and non actions speak volumes about us and about the people that we meet each day. To the person that you don't acknowledge, you are saying they aren't worth it. It doesn't matter what kind of day you are having, it matters what kind of message you are willing to send to the world. We can change our world one person at a time. We may not always know the results of our kindness, our respect, our dignity, but I am sure that the result is positive. My message (in case it's not obvious!), everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and respect!
