I was trying to understand what self-respect really means. A renowned psychiatrist explained that neglect has nothing to do with self-respect. Then what does it mean? He said, “Self-respect means never compromising on your principles under any circumstances. A person who remains steadfast despite being offered any kind of temptation or personal gain is truly a self-respecting person.”
Now look at this: everyone wants self-respect, but how many people are actually honest? And if you are not honest, then what kind of self-respect is that?
“Everyone seems to have self-respect, yet hardly anyone is truly honest.”
The question still remains: Is self-respect within you, or do you need it from others? Is respect something you expect, or is it something you have to earn?
If you are worthy, people will respect you. If you are not, they will not. Simple.
Then what is self-respect? If what you want is respect from others, then that is your ego.
Just look at Lord Krishna. How many times did He still meet Duryodhana despite Duryodhana’s insults and misconduct?
So, my friend, the term self-respect is meant for people who are honest and steadfast in their principles—not for those who seek validation and respect from others.
Think about it yourself.
