More notes
In a recent conversation, Linda and I realized that Respect should not be confused with Trust. While Respect does not have to be earned, Trust has. Just because one is Respected, does not mean one should be Trusted.

In perspective

It’s just the way it is. Inviolable: not to be profaned, defiled sacrosanct not to be violated and […]
Observation
In contemplating the knowledge that has been coming forward regarding Respect, it became apparent why the unrighteous - unholy are so adamant about eradicating all perception of the Divine Origin of People, Earth, and Nature.
