...and those words apply for everybody - be they children, be they adolescents, be they youths, adults or old people. They are not exclusive to anyone for what God asks of us he asks of ALLLL of us: whether one is taking orders or bossing people around, it's my duty to treat others with love and respect. ...i'd add though that the people at the top have MORE of a responsability and duty to show kindness and respect because as someone once said "with great power comes great responsability" and Jesus had said "Whoever wants to be the first among you must be the servant of all" (Mt 20:27) and in humility Christ, GOD HIMSELF, went on his knees, washing our feet, saying "If I, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet, so too must you do that to one another for I have given you example." (Jn 13:14,15)
