This quote suggests that those who engage in negative behavior or actions can achieve a certain level of respect by imitating others.

Whenever I have friends over, we end up eating and talking and losing track of time, and, once in a while, singing karaoke. It reminds me of the family meals we had in Russia, which always lasted a very long time. That's a tradition I miss.
