Alpha Stoic

So is respect earned and not given? Well, that suggests that you have to work for respect, doesn’t it? This implies that you are not worthy of respect therefore, no one should respect anyone unless they earn it. Isn’t this like the dumbest thing you ever heard? Respect Starts With The Self Respect starts with respecting yourself, no? A person who practices virtue respects themselves because they value themselves. This is a very important point.
