This. In spades.
But everyone has beliefs. I believe the sun will rise tomorrow and I will wake up from slumber, although it is not 100% guarenteed. I also believe that if I drive through a green light on my way to work that it will be safe because other drivers will stop at red lights, but this too is not 100% guarenteed. I believe that certain people love me and I love them. So why don't THESE BELIEFS deserve respect???
You are grossly fooling yourself if you think you hold no beliefs on your ever-decaying life! You may be ignorant of them, but nonetheless, you believe in MILLIONS of things, both positive and negative, it is your choice.
Buddha is a wise man, beliefs are merely impermanent and relative.
You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.
There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth; not going all the way, and not starting.
