RESPECT IS SOMETHING ALMOST EVERYBODY CRAVES, FROM THE STREET GANGSTER TO THE PRESIDENT,, PEOPLE SEEK IT IN DIFFERENT WAYS.. SOME GET IT BY GOOD EXAMPLE AND HARD WORK OTHERS TRY TO GET IT THROUGH INTIMIDATION ..., I DON’T THINK RESPECT IS BORN OF FEAR BUT RATHER ADMIRATION ... RESPECT IS EARNED ..NOT DEMANDED.. A HERO IS RESPECTED..A BULLY NEVER IS!

SOMETIMES PEOPLE THINK THEY SHOULD BE RESPECTED BECAUSE THEY HAVE A LOT OF MONEY,,THIS IS NOT RESPECT BUT A SENSE OF ENTITLEMENT,,, PEOPLE MAY GROVEL IN FRONT OF A RICH MAN BUT NOT OUT OF RESPECT BUT RATHER IT IS BECAUSE THEY WANT SOMETHING FROM HIM. SOMETIMES POLITICIANS ARE RESPECTED BUT AS WITH THE RICH MAN IT IS MORE THAT PEOPLE WANT A FAVOR FROM SOMEONE VIEWED AS POWERFUL, SOMEBODY THAT CAN HELP WITH ONES SELF INTERESTS.

SO WHO DO I RESPECT???...WELL TEACHERS FOR ONE..,,THEY GUIDE CHILDREN THROUGH THE WORLD OF LEARNING FOR VERY LITTLE MONETARY GAIN,,, I RESPECT OUR TROOPS BUT NOT NECESSARILY THEIR LEADERS...IT IS TO EASY TO SEND YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN INTO BATTLE FROM BEHIND A DESK......I RESPECT FIREFIGHTERS AND EMERGENCY PERSONAL...THEY RISK THEIR LIVES TO HELP OTHERS, ...DOCTORS FOR THE MOST PART ARE DESERVING OF RESPECT, BUT NOT THE HMO’S AND INSURANCE COMPANIES THAT CONTROL THEM, MOST POLICE CAN BE RESPECTED ALTHOUGH I’VE KNOW A FEW THAT WERE DEFINITELY NOT!! I RESPECT MOST CLERGY BUT NOT ALL...I DON’T THINK I HAVE RESPECT FOR ANY POLITICIAN WHICH WILL MAKE VOTING HARD THIS ELECTION AND I HAVE TONS OF RESPECT FOR PEOPLE THAT WORK WITH CHILDREN ,THE ELDERLY AND THE POOR

IN SHORT I FIND I RESPECT THE PEOPLE WHO ARE WITHOUT THEIR OWN AGENDAS,,, THE ONES THAT SEEK TO HELP MANKIND BEYOND THEMSELVES..I AM NOT IMPRESSED BY CELEBRITIES OR THE RICH OR THE POWERFUL,, IF THEIR ACTIONS ARE WORTHY OF RESPECT ,,I WILL GIVE IT TO THEM .BUT THAT IS USUALLY NOT THE CASE!! TO GIVE RESPECT BECAUSE OF ONES STATION IN LIFE IS NOT REALLY RESPECT BUT AGAIN SORT OF BEING INTIMIDATED!! SOME OF THE HUMBLEST POOREST PEOPLE I KNOW HAVE ALL MY RESPECT BECAUSE OF THE EXAMPLES THEY ARE..THEY SHINE IN LIFE!!. AND IN CASE YOU ARE WONDERING...YES...I RESPECT MYSELF...MOST OF THE TIME!! DO YOU RESPECT YOURSELF???
