Respect for Strangers - For your Health!

Hello young and old and time travelers and fountain of youth youngins and everyone else I don't have time to name. You are all welcome. Peace and blessing from above is the order of the day so enjoy a friendly helpful tip you may have heard before but probably did not hear in full.

Stranger Danger!
It's true. You don't know who anybody is or what a stranger might do. You can not simply trust strangers or allow yourself to become vulnerable to them. Not that the world is just a horrible place and everybody is a bad person but that there may be 1 in a million and you never know for sure who anyone is. DON'T GO WITH STRANGERS

Q; of course. we all know this. so what else is there?

Respect of the Unknown
As we can not allow ourselves to simply trust everyone we meet it is a good idea to practice courtesy in dealing with your fellow man always. Another very healthy practice is to show respect for people who have different beliefs than you, from another country, speak a different language, and for every other reason represent something you do not understand. Showing respect for others is the best practice. it doesn't mean you have to agree but it does represent goodwill towards men and is serves as self-preservation. Some people are so zealous in their beliefs that if you contradict and insult them there is no limit to how far they will go in opposition to the enemies of their god. Offending one of these type of strangers is one of the last things you ever want to do. If you do you'll find that you wished you would have just shown a little tolerance and respect for someone else's right to choose what he believes.
This is a specific type of stranger danger most people could naturally avoid as most people are not quick to insult who they do not understand.
Be smart! Be respectful! Be wise as serpents yet harmless as doves! Be Good!
