Day 26 - Respect

The life of peace excludes no one. If we wish to create a culture of peace, we need to accept others for who they are.

Reflection
  • What does it mean to be respectful?
  • How does showing respect contribute to nonviolence?
Action
  • Write down five examples of respectful words or actions.
  • As you interact with people today, listen to what they have to say with respect.
  • The act of listening has a calming effect on others, even if they are in a heated tirade, just listening models a nonviolent response.
