Jesus' main teaching was how to respect one another. His famous quote "Love your neighboor as yourself" shows this. He treated people with kindness and love that they deserved even if they were cruel and rude. Jesus also didn't discriminate the poor, the ill, or the women because he understood their situation of beign an outcast when nobody wanted to listen to his teachings. Jesus was all about forgiveness, and giving second chances hoping in time that they would change.
I do consider myself a follower of Jesus because i think i demonstrate some of the same qualitites that he had. Though it might be hard at times, i try to be kind to everyone and don't descriminate. I do forgive but i don't forget. I try to think that people can change but sometimes that just doesn't happen. It's hard when you respect someone but in return they don't respect you back, i have experienced that so many times and I don't know when I should stop giving them second chances when i know they won't change. These are the times when I am torn in two, should I keep to Jesus' teachings, or hold a grudge. Either way my family is religious and I know they would expect me to handle things the right way which in this case would be to forgive and forget.
