Humanity should respect animals.

personally i think we are affected most as humans when people respect us and are not preachy. when someone gives me room to be who i am i am much more comfortable. i used to work with a guy who knew the bible backwards and forwards. he was the most miserable person because he was the most judgemental person i knew. when i see someone act compassionately it draws my attention. i might not say anything but i file it away and it serves as an inspiration for me to act compassionately. and let us be clear, we all could be more compassionate, each and every one of us. its a goal we can all strive for. life with lead us to the lessons we need to learn. when i find people get preachy or get into debates i have to drop out. i dont have any point to prove. to me the point to life is to be yourself and give others room to be themselves. that is compassion and wisdom in action at least as i see it. so tolerance of others is the order of the day at least for me personally. i trust that life itself is wise enuf to bring others the experiences that they need to grow. and if i can act in a gentle way sometimes to give a fellow pilgrim a word of encouragement then i pray that i have enuf love and compassion to do just that.
