Be respectful of things as well as people. If you drop it, pick it up. If you open it, close it when you’re done. If you get it dirty, get it clean again. If you use it up or break it, replace it. If you take good care of things they will last longer, save money, and you’ll have an easier time keeping your home clean and tidy. And people will trust you when you want to borrow something. You can extrapolate the corollaries for how to treat people.
