The Paper of Respect

Respect is as inherently deserved as our eyes, hearts, and brains; however, it is

everyone’s responsibility to carefully maintain their respect by respecting others who’ve also

inherently deserved it. Respect is as delicate as a sheet of thin paper; therefore, one must treat it

with ultimate care. The delicacy of a paper makes it susceptible to tears, crumples, or stains;

however, a careful person can reverse the spell and make it invulnerable. A person valuing this

paper would place it in a transparent sheet protector, place that sheet protector in a reinforced

binder, and set that binder away on a high shelf. We could all do that with our respect: reinforce

it with a three-way lock. If one neglects the value of his or her “Paper of Respect,” leaving it

exposed to any dangers, then it’ll obviously get crumpled, teared, or stained. Making fun of

someone would stain your “Paper of Respect” like you stained that person’s heart with distress.

Destroying a person’s hopes would crumple your “Paper of Respect” like you crumpled that

individual’s dreams. Having a bad influence on someone would tear your “Paper of Respect”

like you teared that person’s moral character from them. Everyone is born deserving respect, but

it is your responsibility to place your “Paper of Respect” in a sheet protector placed in a binder

on a high shelf and not leave it exposed to endure rips, crumples, or stains.
