We respect ourselves by respecting others, yes we do- but not everyone has to do that. Can't you imagine a society where you respect yourself by killing outsiders? I certainly can. So we only respect ourselves by respecting others because we are defining ourselves that way- I see no absolute reason why that should be so.

Are you saying the claims arise out of the rules of society after you have bought into the notion of participating in society? If so I agree with you. Just wanted to make sure these claims weren't being pulled out of the air- because just like rights, if no one recognizes them they really don't exist-except in the head of the person who thinks he or she has them. Not much of an existence.
