You ever wonder sometimes what makes a person tick. Why people do what they do or say what they say, without thought or remorse? It amazes me the RESPECT people demand from others, while refusing to reciprocate that same level of respect. People so easily forget that respect is something that is EARNED and not something that is just given to you because you DEMAND it. RESPECT is defined as " deference to a right, privelege, priveleged position, or someone or something considered to have certain rights or priveleges; proper acceptance or courtesy; acknowledgment". It is also defined as "esteem for or a sense of the worth or excellence of a person, personal quality or ability, or something considered as a manifestation of a personal quality or ability." Each person is owed a general level of respect as a HUMAN BEING, which should reflect courtesy and humility. There should be no pride involved.
