When you meet a person.
Dalip Singh Wasan, Advocate.

We are social animals and therefore, we are to live in this world and each step, we are to meet people. Some of them have got connections and relations with us and there are some with whom we are to establish our connections and relations for the first time. There could be people who shall be meeting us occasionally and very rarely some of them could be meeting us in the remaining part of our life. We are to talk to them, we are consulting them, we are advising them, we are behaving with them, we are just dealing with them and at times we may be exchanging our views with them. We should be very cautious while sitting with them, because, these people are living beings and every word from us, every action from us shall be having some reaction in them or they may be bearing the same silently and shall be forming their opinions about us. From that date they may be having praise for us or there could be chances that they may try to forget that unhappy occasion which they spent with us. If we are social animal, we should understand that we are living in a society which begins from our house and therefore, our behaviour and dealing with each member of our family shall be establishing our psychology. This family is the first unit of this social life and therefore, we all should ensure that each member of the family is learning the art of living and especially behaving and dealing with people around him or her. We too should try to establish an example before each member of our family and they shall learning from us. The elders in the house are the first people who are the first teachers and therefore, the elders in the family must understand their position and they should not do an act which shall create bad impression on he younger. The younger shall be noting down when the elders in the family go to bed, when they get up, what they do after getting up, whether they clean themselves, whether they prepare themselves, what they talk with others, what is their behaviour towards others in the family, how they welcome a guest, how ill and diseased people in the house are dealt with. What type of co-operation is there in the members and if all is disturbed, the people coming out of this family shall never be good people and such people would never establish themselves in the society around them. If we try to learn from others, we should try to learn good habits because the people in the society have got the choice to remain near to us or to keep distance from us and if we are behaving properly, they shall be coming near to us and if our behaviour is not in tune with them, they shall be keeping distance from us. We should never think that we can live our own life without caring for others living around us. The people around us shall be creating our reputation and if they are not happy with us, they shall be creating so many stories about us and shall be spreading the same and those items shall get flames and shall spread like wild fire. Therefore, it is the duty of each of us that when we are facing a person we should forget that we are a superior person, we are senior, we are friends, we are juniors, we are having power and this man is without power and money. We should take up that fellow as equal to us and only then we shall be behaving properly and like a human being. It is very easy and everyone of us can adopt this policy. None has born inferior to us. We should take it for granted that whosoever has come on this earth had been sent by God and since we all present in this world are members of the same family, we are bound to act as members of the same family.
