I've recently seen a 2-years old child throw an object and spit at an older person she had just met. I couldn't help thinking, "Wow, what a disgraceful behavior in such a young person!". Then I wondered, "Why did she behave like that? Where did she learn to throw things at people and spit at them?". Yes, because children learn how to behave from adults. They imitate and comply with the way of acting they are usually exposed to. How many people realize the importance of the example they set to others, especially to their juniors? Many believe that "they" are entitled to disrespect another, if they feel like it, while demanding to be respected by them. How absurd such a belief is. And how wrong. "You" have the responsibility to set the good example, if you want others to treat you accordingly.
