Respect
Respect comes in many forms
Being quiet while someone else is talking
Saying please and thank you
Holding the doors for others
All forms of respecting others
But something that is overlooked is self respect.
Specifically treating your body as a temple,
Which includes not mistaking sex for "love",
Not allowing people mistreat you-
Physically, sexually, emotionally spiritually abuse you.
As the famous saying goes,
"If you don't respect yourself, who will?"
