Why can't I be respected and do whatever I want?

If a person adorns himself with good character, such as truthfulness, trustworthiness, fulfilling promises, and giving rights to their rightful owners, and avoids polytheism, lying, adultery, theft, and deception, and is characterized by generosity, defending the oppressed, protecting neighbors, and hosting guests, then he will be respected by people. Good character raises the degree of its possessor's faith and admits him to the highest gardens of Paradise. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "The most perfect in faith among the believers are those who have the best character," and he said: "I guarantee a house in the highest part of Paradise for one who perfects his character."
