Day 215: Respect Your Family's Privacy
When Hashem spoke to Adam and Eve in Gan Eden, he asked them first where they were. From God's actions we learn how to emulate Him and become better people. So from this action, we learn that we must respect the privacy of others.
I don't have children whose rooms I can barge into or siblings who live at home anymore. Right now, I live only with my parents while my brother is old enough to have moved out and my roommate at school will soon become my suitemate.
Even so, it is necessary for me to respect the privacy of those with whom I live. I couldn't figure out how to best do this today but I tried. My dad stayed home from work and I know it sometimes make him jump when he doesn't hear us come into a room. I made sure to scuffle around a little bit more so he'd hopefully hear me coming before I got there.
I don't know whether that counts or not, but it was done with the intention of respecting the people I live with and love.
