Hells yes.
I could be better at being aware of when I might affect another person and how. This is a weak spot for me. But when I am aware that I am taking action that has a clear impact on another person, I'm pretty committed to acting with integrity, respect, and honour. If it's disrespectful, I probably or most likely will not do it unless it is beyond my ability to do better.
I think we all deserve to be treated well. The world would be a much better place if we were kind to one another. I hold myself to this standard. If I want others to act with respect and with kindness, then I must also include myself as being a part of this group and hold myself to this expectation. I realize that I am an example whether I wish to be or not. In addition, it is only ethically and logically sensible to hold myself to the same standards to which I hold others.
Second, regardless of how the people around me behave, I choose to conduct myself with respect and honour because as much as I affect the world around me, who I am is also my business and mine alone. My growth is my own business. The decision to grow as a human being rests with me. My behaviour can therefore be independent of others' behaviours.
Third, treating others well from a place of love and compassion is one of the ways through which to meet my aims of remaining connected with my emotions and processing them to avoid a backlog of emotional energy. Hating people, treating people like crap, remaining self-centred is isolating and difficult to maintain. It is not nourishing; it takes away from me and requires me to harden internally. This does not feel good, and this does not contribute positively to my life. The outcomes and experiences of being loving are more reasonable and desired by me.
I haven't yet differentiated the extent to which I was taught to behave this way versus whether this stems in large part from my own personality that has persisted in spite of social conditioning. It's something I contemplate.
