Wondering about the well known words, "Give Caesar what belongs to Caesar", a very simple explanation related only to our every-day life came to my mind. Think about it: who might this "Caesar" be? Who or what does he represent? How do you relate to him/her/it? And what should you give 'him' that belongs to 'him'? Caesar may symbolize another human being, any human being - a relative, a friend, an acquaintance, a co-worker, the bus driver, a homeless... just anyone. It could even be your pet, or any animal, the plants in your garden or any plant... Maybe... what belongs to any living creature or thing is just respect, acknowledgment, appreciation. You may just need to recognize them, fulfill whatever duty you have towards any of them, not deprive them of their rights. That should be enough.
