Respect for others<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ordinary people don\u2019t make a fuss about life – kids, work, school, stress, relationships, tiredness, kindness. The humdrum realities of life\u2019s daily struggle require a special kind of dedication and commitment. Without belittling the amazing deeds of say, soldiers in combat, the single person raising a family on benefit while perhaps recovering from addiction will never receive a medal or a long service pension. Perhaps they will never be thanked or remembered except by the few whose lives they touched and made better, with an unsolicited act of kindness.
