Respect Humans
We are humans first and then a man & woman. This is my call to all the citizens of earth to all humans to stand up and pledge just one thing and one basic thing — RespectHumans. The world deserves to be a better place than what it is now. There is love, there is hatred, there is chaos and there is growth, and yet there needs to be respect. It’s high time that we take the stand and clean our own house before we start even thinking about respecting anything else. We need to learn to respect our fellow humans, everyone around you, the one with power, the one with money, the one with nothing, everybody deserves respect.
You might choose to hate someone. You might choose to dis-like someone. You might choose to pick a fight or argument with someone. But you should not lose respect for anyone.
Never de-bard a human from dignity, from respect. That is the one thing that one really has, a true identity. Name is just a noun given for common recall of the society. It’s the human’s dignity that is complex and never well understood. Even a human takes time to realise what respect is for himself and for others. But we all get to know at the end, at the final in-evitable destiny, at the death bed, that all that we kept chasing in life was to earn respect. If this is what we need, then this is what we need to learn to give first. The nature has a very balanced equation. The Newton’s law of action-reaction applies to every aspect of life. What you give is what comes in return.
You might not have money today, you might not have yet reach your goal which you have been working for since years, but if you have respect amongst the people around you, you would be satisfied.
The person next to you might have not done anything in life or might not even be aiming to do anything in life, but deserves respect.
I do not ask you to force respect or demand respect. Einstein once said about a human “Generations to come, it may well be, will scarce believe that such a man as this one ever in flesh and blood walked upon this Earth.”, a human who taught us that a revolution take shape even with a simple approach of non-violence. Violence or force is always not the solution to a problem, the human taught if not anything else that an alternative approach does exist. It might have been solely been responsible for success or maybe not, but it did influence a lot of people and it did drive a revolution. Let us all today stand together to teach the world to respect, to influence the world to respect, with simple truth and non-violence.

This is what the world needs today. It’s time to learn to respect each other.
I am a simple coder with no means or intent to bring down empires or create chaos in this world. I truly believe that for us to proceed further we truly need to learn to respect humans. Respect every human around you and me. Many people who know me, would say that I have a weird sense of looking at this world. I am in constant pursuit to find the deterministic from the non-deterministic. Logic has been my way of understanding this world. If there is one thing logic has taught me is that if you are in the pursuit of a solution, then you must first have respect for the problem statement itself. If you do not respect what you do, you would never reach where you want to. Respect is the fundamental variable to solve an equation and make head-way.
Do not think I am portraying life as a problem, but it’s a problem statement, which you are constantly dealing with in every moment of your life. In each moment, there is a decision node which gets triggered and the output of which triggers the next. You entire life is a path traversed in the infinite possibilities, an infinite breadth tree. When you look back you would always see the path and you might also feel there could have been a better path, but when you look ahead it’s a set of decision nodes in-front you which yet have to be navigated through.
For you to solve this problem statement of life, it would not be just you. Your reality is formed with the amalgamation of billions of other realities around you. You are not the only one bringing about change in this world. You are not the only one making the world a better place. Your life your reality is influenced by the summation of all actions by the humans around you. Hence learn to respect others reality, learn to respect other humans for you to have respect in your reality.
I would request each one you who agrees to me, to ensure that you spread this message. Lead by example and not by command. Make sure in every aspect of life, in each of those situations where you were in the heightened sense of emotion, do not forget to respect the human in-front of you.
