Respect Others

Job was a very respectful man, he was very religious and responsible for his beliefs and actions according to God and his religion. This is an example of the Golden Rule, treat everyone as you expect them to treat you, he respected everyone, and they respected him, everything was mutual. "Now when Job's three friends heard of all this evil that was come upon him, they came every one from his own place; Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite: for they had made an appointment together to come to mourn with him and to comfort him." (2; 11) He also treated his friends with a great charisma, and in when Job was in a difficult situation, his friends returned everything he had done for them. When a friendship has been transparent for a long time being very sincere with others and having a nice feeling about the way your friends treat them, this will help you or others overcome more easily over difficult situations.

Even if man faces difficult situations they have to overcome them in some way, it sometimes will be through friends, mental power, or any other ways that people explore. "Shall mortal man be more just than God? shall a man be more pure than his maker?" (4; 17) Many people might ask this question, and they should consider that God is superior to everything or everyone, why would humans have the same power as God? It is reasonable that man are different than God and they are each pure in their own way. God has more power over the world, but humans have power over their decisions and God has nothing to influence over this. Overall, God is better in some situations that don't include humans' decision, while humans are superior when it comes to decision making, they take their decisions according to their perspectives.
