Respect

Respect, itiyo…once compromised, it is a challenging avenue to repair if that is an option. *It goes down generations,  jiaro iguka.*
Respect can never be bought and will never be bought. It is earned, an investment, and ownership to each and every person. When respect is out of the conversation, relationship, and environment, everything else is talk. 

Respect for ourselves guides our morals, and respect for others guides our manners.

A person is a person, no matter how small or big. Respect is what we owe to ourselves and what we give others.

A youth that does not cultivate friendship with the elderly is like a tree without roots.” “An elderly person at home is a living golden treasure.

African proverb

When you befriend a chief, remember that he sits on a rope. This reminds you to be cautious with who you trust and respect those in positions of authority. It is also a reminder of the importance of not forgetting your roots.

Much love,
