For some people self-respect is conditional, and for others self-respect is absolute.

Some people self-determine the conditions for their own self-respect, and others never give it a thought.

Some people set difficult conditions for self-respect and work hard to win it, while others just respect or disrespect instinctively or indiscriminately.

Some people prefer to respect, and others don’t.

Some people like it that humanity self-invents. Others prefer to see the changes humanity undergoes as natural mechanics, or as the unfolding of a predestined plan, or as a process of degradation, or as wrestling with a riddle, or as a chain of necessary accidents. Other people deny that significant enduring change happens. Others just live their lives.
