Our lives would be different if the word “Respect” would not exist. We wouldn’t leave our seats in the metro in order the elder to sit, we wouldn’t greet people with expressions reflecting health, we might never be standing up when professors were entering the place and we would eat all our food before dad reaches home.Nevertheless, we all have thought about respect. The question I want to ask is: Should we expect others to respect us when we do not respect ourselves? Are we supposed to expect respect for our stuff, places, homes, cities, countries when we do not respect them?
I was thinking a lot. From one hand, NO.
ReplyDeleteFrom another hand it is very tragic utopia if NO, so YES, to make a world a better place.
Respect you, Markoglou.
I partly agree with Hellvecia.
ReplyDeleteBut for me, respect isn't something you can trade.
I respect you, so you have to respect me. Respect is a feeling, a principle, an attitude that you have or not. It's up to you wether you will respect yourself and others or not. Just be yourself and do what you want to do.
First of all if you want to talk about respect you need to define it. Respect in what and in what way. Secondly, I have observed that many times we feel that we respect someone while at the same time he feels that we don't. So this issue raises some concern. Last but not least, respect and trust are things that if you lose them you can't easily get them back. In this way we should adopt to the circumstances.
