The next time these children see a Lion Head, they can remember our Lions Movement but we hope that they will not mixed us up with the Lions Dance group!

Respect begets respect by Bridget Menezes

Human beings always act in ways to preserve their ego, using various self-defense mechanisms. When self-respect is intact, there is no need to guard it. This positive state of awareness exists naturally.

A person who is without food and shelter will find it difficult to maintain self-respect. However, even if physical needs are met, something more is required to satisfy self-esteem needs. Ultimately, when the individual is satisfied in the mind, there is self-respect.

When there is dissatisfaction or disturbance in the mind, due to lack of self-realization, self -respect is lost. The self-defense mechanism jumps in to preserve the loss of self-respect. Actions are then motivated not by self-esteem , but by negative personality traits such as greed, aggression and ego.

When I can recognize all my good qualities as well as my faults with neutrality, I can start to appreciate myself as I would a friend and experience the comfortable inner glow of self-respect.

With self-respect, it is possible to maintain respect for others. Infringements on the rights of others come about when human beings use ego to guard their selfish interests, and make themselves feel better by dominating others , and suppressing their opinions. With self-respect, one is able to respect the ideas and opinions of others.

Thoughts for reflection: As we mature spiritually, there is less need to have our self-respect bolstered by praise and special attention.
