All these economic activities become possible because of labour. Thus,
Labour should be respected. We can respect labour by paying reasonable
wage for their work or services before the sweat become dry. We should
behave them equally without discriminating the occupation because no
work is small and they are equally important for a society. It helps to unite
people together because they are supplementary to fulfill each other’s

need.
