You can make them cower and be fearful with your anger and attempts to control, but that's not respect.

As 25 says, hold that mirror up to yourself.


I can't agree more. I have finally (after 35 years on this earth) come to the conclusion that 90% of the troubles that have happened to me (including more than the sitch I find myself in) because of MY selfishness. It is so easy to blame others, or it was for me. I have repented of this to the Lord, and I am doing all I can to change that. It took me 35 years to get to where I am; I pray that it doesn't take 35 more to get the selfishness out.
