Or at least self-respect? Is the latter the cornerstone of this congruence? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Self-respect is a must in order to genuinely respect others by treating them well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Respect does not mean hypocrisy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Respect does not mean censorship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Respect is a choice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Respect is a re-choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Respect has a twin. It is called trust. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In both respect and trust, there are beautiful ingredients called integrity and transparency. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To conclude this post, Bambi will spare you her philosophical questions. She will just ask the following: In life, is there anything more simple yet beautiful than treating everyone with respect&#8230; and earning their respect back?  Or is it self-respect that comes first? Oh, it is getting late&#8230;. time to sleep now.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"What is Critical Thinking?\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-eEBuqwY-nE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How can we foster our intellectual curiosity, creativity, and decision-making skills?
