Handless Yet Respected

Handless Yet Respected!
Like the sacred, pure and without flaws or blemish.
‎Like a blossoming flower, desired by all.
‎Harbored by those who reflect it.

‎Beautiful to receive, yet hard to give away.
‎Humble and gentle, yet commanding and powerful.
‎Good rulers of the world deserve it.
Bad rulers may be feared, but not truly respected.
‎
‎Respect humbles you in the face of defeat and tempers arrogance.
‎Too much of it, like a drug, can be intoxicating, as Paracelsus said, the dose makes the poison.
‎Every form of respect can cause more harm than good if misapplied. But the right amount nourishes the soul.
‎
‎Mandela! Oh!
‎Oh! My Mandela.
‎Respected globally for his work in reconciliation and justice.
‎Yet, some leaders are remembere with disdain.
‎
‎Respect is order.
‎Respect is love.
‎A family built on respect is a family shielded from disaster.
‎Where respect is absent, the roof burns.
‎
‎
‎So I say "let respect be the quiet force that builds bridges, mends hearts, and holds the world together, one act at a time".
