By now, we must have all seen
the footage of a certain world leader
pushing another world leader
aside.
It was extremely disrespectful.
I suspect, going forward,
that pushy world leader
is going to face
much more disrespect.
Not merely from
the world leader he pushed aside
but from all world leaders
who viewed that act.
Because disrespect
is contagious.
Disrespect someone
and she, if she has any pride,
will feel obliged to
disrespect you back.
The good news is
respect is contagious also.
Respect someone
and she will likely respect you back.
If you want respect,
show respect.
