To respect
Is to fight for togetherness

To respect
Is to value shared values
The very and only glue
That binds us to one another
Tightly together
To respect
Is to refrain from interfering
With one another's intimacy
With one another's privacy
With one another's deep-rooted values
With one another's worldviews
With one another's need ffor reedom
With one another's needs for wisdom
With one another's need for self-expression.
