  %RESPECT PERSON PERFORMANCE ACTING BEHAVIOR RIGHT 891030

     It  is  one  thing to respect a person  as  a  unique
person.

     It  is  another thing to respect the same person  for
their performance, acting, behavior, achievements, values,
ideals and setting of priorities.

     It   is wise to respect a person as a  unique  person
in   spite  of  their  performance,   acting,    behavior,
achievements, values, ideals and/or setting of priorities.

     It  is  unwise  to  respect  a  person's performance,
acting,   behavior,  achievements,  values  ideals  and/or
setting  of  priorities just because they are a person  of
great power and influence.

     There  are  two  different kinds  of  respect:    (1)
Respect  for persons as unique persons who are members  of
the  human community because they are members of the human
community,    (2)    Respect  for   the   particulars   of
performances,  acting,  behaviors,  achievements,  values,
ideals and/or setting of priorities of particular persons.

     It  is  dangerous to be confused  regarding  the  two
different kinds of respect.

     Respect  for performance and its like should  not  be
granted out of a desire to grant respect to unique persons
as persons. It is dangerous to respect the leadership of a
political  leader,  just because the person is a member of
the  human race or powerful;  because members of the human
race often mislead people.

     It  is also dangerous to show no personal respect for
confused  members  of the human race whose performance  is
confused.   Without  proper acceptance as members  of  the
human race,  such persons cannot transcend their confusion
and disintegrative behaviors which threaten the  integrity
of their community as a whole.  Acceptance of and  respect
for  confused  members of the human race is  essential  to
recovery of personal and communal integrity.
