I've recently come to have a better understanding of boundaries and respect. When one respects someone else, they respect their boundaries. They follow the other persons wishes about not being contacted or their right to leave doors open. It is when there is a lack of respect that there are big problems.
Boundaries don't seem to exist when disrespect is around. The ability for one person to think for themselves even comes into question because their opinions are not valued since they're not respected.
What a tragedy it is to see us teaching our children that respect is nothing to pay homage to. That they do not need to respect themselves and others. What a tragedy it is when we teach them that through the actions we do as adults.
