I believe in trying to be kind and respectful to others whether or not it makes the world a kinder place.

As for becoming a "better person," too many answers to that question already contend for my attention. I don't know if I'll become a better person, but I'm sure I'll continue getting older.

Positive affirmations have never helped me.

Kind words
directed to me and
directed from me to others
help, but the help is fleeting.

I'm not sure everyone deserves respect, but I believe it valuable to treat everyone with respect.

Hugs and Respect to you, dear Fuzzybear.
