I think many of us here were/are dealing with control issues, seems to underlie our themes. If we always want to control everything, that is not having respect for others abilities.
Yes! Or just respect for them as another person, regardless of abilities. Mistakes force us to learn new ways. If others are constantly doing for us, how will we ever learn anything. When out kids were learning to walk we didn't carry them everywhere just because we were afraid they'd fall.
Lack of self-respect keeps us from recognizing our boundaries, we give and given and give or we let people take and take and take. Lack of self-respect keeps us controlling because what if we mess up? We might look like a fool or people won't think we're smart.
More good thought stirrers.

Let me give up the need to know why things happen as they do. I will never know and constant wondering is constant suffering. Caroline Myss
