Humanity should respect animals.

[Shin'Ar]

Some of the garbage I eat, I am highly, highly thankful of my gut flora.

LOL, yes! But also be aware that the garbage you eat affects which kinds of gut flora can grow.

Sounds like you all are your own little planets of fauna and flora.

Humanity should respect all.

Respect based on what though.

Respect is based upon something done to deserve it, or something done to not be deserving of it.

Should Hitler be respected just because he was a living being?

Do we offer respect without reason?

It always boils down to discernment, which simply means the rationalization of one point of view.

And yet, when one attempts to voice that point of view, it is declared proselytizing. If one attempts to share it openly and freely, it is seen as an invasion of free will or imposing something where it may be too early for its arrival.

Respect for others is not a matter of collectively devising parameters based upon a majority opinion. It is a matter of individual interaction with one's state of being and the environment surrounding that state of being.

For anyone else to judge that very intimate and individual event is to impose upon that which by its very nature exists only because it cannot be imposed upon.
