People behave in a way we let them to.
Its just from my observation. When some one does something wrong, he/she can still retain his/her respect from the way they carry themselves.
Since the time I understood this simple thing, I have realized that you can pretty much command others behaviour with you, if only you know you can! In other words, no matter how many ups and downs occur in your life, you can still remain respectable to others all the time, simply by your attitude and behaviour.
So, at the troughs of our lives, rather than lamenting that someone is commenting looking down on us etc., its good to understand that, how others behave with us, really depends on ourselves!
