RESPECT? What exactly is it? How do we show it? Is it earned? Is it expected? How do you earn it? Is it missing all to often? All good questions and deserve answers. Some respects are just expected. Respect for Life. Respect for Right. Respect for your Parents. Respect for the Law. These are respects I feel should be expected. Respect for your elders should be included but all to often it is lost because of what some adults do. I think Respect is best when it is earned .It is earned by the way you treat people. In short Earned Respect is given right back. You get it when you give it. Sometimes you give it without saying, just by the way you act. Respect can be lost when you disrespect and then hard to get back. We need to show Respect for others until they give us a good reason not to. We need to be patient & allow for some mistakes but not so much that we are crushed under all the disrespect.
As you can see Respect is needed for us to grow & live in a country where All Men Are Created Equal. Respect is missing. Simple signs show me this every day. People not letting someone into traffic, People not returning their shopping carts. People talking during a movie. Kids NOT doing their homework. People judging others by their look instead of their actions. So much disrespect. Predjidice is a big example of disrespect. Our world will be a better place when we all respect each other, pitch in, & look out for the other guy.
