I don't think we should 'auto-respect' at all. We have Free Will afterall. One of the reasons we are in the game is to realize our Unity, and if what one may perceive as 'negative limitations' are placed on such creatures as Catalyst, than so be it. We all have made the decisions to play the part we have. Those who have incarnated as the starving children in 3rd world countries will find they have done so out of Love, in that they will experience such temporarily so that the collective would awaken and realize this isn't the way. Same principle.
This isn't to state I'm 'for' cruelty. Merely that in certain situations were it not for the circumstance in the first place, one may not 'awaken' to 'better' ways. It is the Infinity of creation playing out, and no choices or realities are 'right' or 'wrong'. All is One.
