"No podemos pisotear la humanidad de los demás sin devaluar la nuestra."
Simplified meaning
Treating other people badly or disrespectfully makes us look bad too. When we hurt or look down on someone, we're not showing good qualities about ourselves either. It's like when a bully in school makes fun of others; it doesn’t just hurt the victim, but also makes the bully seem mean and unkind. If you want people to see you as a good person, you need to treat them well. Being kind and respectful to others shines a positive light on you too. So, to keep our own dignity and self-respect, we need to be humane and fair to everyone around us.
