Jesus of Nazareth called little children to come unto him and judged that in the end the people who had shown kindness to the least and most vulnerable of their neighbors would merit great respect. If we respect people who take advantage of and abuse honest people such as little children and women, we thereby promote dishonesty and both personal and communal disintegration. Little children are simple. They are not characterized by great accomplishments, power, knowledge, sophistication, ambitions, influence or connections. They do not merit great respect because of what they have done or can do. They are exceedingly vulnerable and we will do well and be well if we respect them. These insights will seem strange and/or crazy to power hungry people who are fixated upon getting: ahead, power, knowledge, sophistication, possessions, influence, money, connections, accomplishments, or respect.
