Realize that I won't pass judgement on your lifestyle unless you pass judgement on mine. That is not a guarantee that I will pass judgement on your's, nor is it a guarentee that I agree with your lifestyle. It simply means that I withhold judgement unless neccessary

Expect a swift, proactive reaction if you overstep my boundaries. That does not mean an obvious reaction.

Society is an agreement composed of a series of compromises. Just because we share the same air doesn't make you my brother or sister. Only our mutual love coupled with mutual respect may do such.

Privacy is shared only to the degree of the offerer of said sharing. Prying or interferring will only breed competition and ill feelings. I will keep your secrets and expect the same in return. I will not pry nor will I interfere with your life. If I love you, if you fall within one of my concentric circles of caring, I will protect you with my life. I offer this to you as this is one of my values. If I ever ask you for help, advice, or empathy, it is the greatest demonstration of love I can offer.

Even if I show you kindness, I don't expect kindness in return. However kindness is granted to all people as a license, not a right. As a license it is subject to suspension or revocation. This is obvious in all of our lives.

Circles rule my value system. The outermost circle is society at large. Next are those of my ilk. Next is my aquaintences. Next is my clientelle. The next circle is my friends. The next circle is my family, of which certain friends are included. The innermost circle is my lover, my mother, and my children. An inner circle has the right to weigh in their opinion on an outer circle upon their own choice. That is a one-way conduit, thus the same does not apply to the reverse. Should an outer circle attempt to weigh in on an inner circle, I will ask that you respect my privacy.

Take note of my rules of respect. It is a personal value that I hold as close as my own heartbeat. It is a personal value that I will extend to you in kind. If you do not agree with it, please share with me your rules so that I may respect them in return. If I don't, if you don't, I wish you the same peace and love I wish for my innermost circle.
