A human reading
Respect does not require agreeing on everything. It means treating with dignity someone who does not share your ideas. That attitude makes difficult conversations possible without wounding.
This page offers reflection and companionship; it does not replace a professional. If what you feel weighs heavily or lasts for weeks, talk with someone you trust or with a health professional.
