The true respect that we must develop toward others must …
The true respect that we must develop toward others must not be limited to respect for human beings. Beyond human beings and superior to them, there are a multitude of entities which people neglect and often do not believe in. They use their duty to respect other human beings as justification for respecting no one else, not even the Creator. In fact, we cannot truly respect human beings as long as we give no credence within ourselves to a world that surpasses us. In this case, we actually risk harming others, because certain motives operating within us will stifle respect. It is only when we hold a sacred feeling for something, or rather for a being infinitely greater than we are, the Divinity, that we can also claim to respect human beings.
