    The document discusses two scenarios related to respect for human life and truth-telling. The first scenario describes an old man sexually harassing a woman on a bus. Upholding respect for human life would mean not allowing such abuse to occur. Not upholding it could lead to emotional difficulties and lack of peace. The second scenario involves a man lying to his wife about having a mistress and child. Telling the truth would prevent complicating the situation for others unknowingly involved. Continuing to lie would require thinking of more lies and likely cause the lies to be revealed, creating internal stress over time.

    On the writing sheet given below, write two scenarios highlighting respect for

    human life and truth-telling. Discuss the possible results of upholding and not upholding
    the two values.

    For your first paragraph, write your scenario. Paragraph two will be the outcome
    if you uphold respect for human life, and paragraph three will be the result if you will not
    respect human life.

    Respect for human life

    In a bus, there is a woman and beside her is an old man. The woman is
    wearing a pencil skirt and a polo shirt because she was from her work. Then suddenly,
    out of nowhere the hand of the old man is slowly moving and thrusting her legs. She
    knew that the old man is abusing her.

    Before other people respect us we must respect ourselves first. In that


    scenario, even he is an old man he still has the guts to abuse the woman. But this
    essay is not saying that the old man doesn’t deserve respect but this essay is saying
    that “respect is earned, not given”. If you value, the essence of respect to strangers
    you will earn credit for your welfare. You naturally see it mirrored in your life when you
    give and show love to yourself and other people. The people you are associated with
    are starting to respond peacefully and in a friendly way. You are starting to gain a
    deeper understanding of yourself and the individuals around you.

    Without it, difficulty and dissatisfaction would be filled with emotional relations.
    They won't respect us if we don't look after others, and if we don't respect ourselves,
    we won't be looked at by others either. If we are not respecting each other, this world
    wouldn’t be at peace.

    Truth-telling

    There is a man who has a mistress and now they have their child and his true
    family doesn’t have any idea about it. One day, he was with his friend when his wife
    saw them in the bar. And then he said to his wife that his friend has a chic in that bar
    and they have a child. But the truth is he is the one who has. His wife immediately
    called the wife of his friend to tell him about that. But his friend’s wife already knows
    that it was her husband who has a mistress.
    In the grand scheme, lying just holds society apart. The only thing lying does is
    cover up the errors, acts, and thoughts of people, and how will that be beneficial for the
    future? Truth is all relative to the speaker and the listener. It can pin you down too,
    prisoner. Also, it is stunning but can be hideous as well. It could be structured and it
    could be chaotic. This can tie you down, but it can leave you teetering as well. You can
    hide it but not forever.
    If you keep on lying to other people and you empathize it with other, you are just
    making the situation more complicated. Imagine, the people you are involving doesn’t
    know that he or she has already an issue. If we don't tell the truth, we have to think
    about what we're going to say. Second, when we're not telling the truth, we're
    generating low-frequency energy, which in turn acts as a magnet for other things that
    vibrate at a similar frequency. So one might expect to experience things like lying to
    another, getting ripped off, issues around lack, etc. And finally, I echo some of the
    other comments-the lies are going to make their way back in one way or another, it is
    going to cause internal stress, and over time we are going to stay in darkness so as
    not to shine a light on our deception.
