gain respect

yes if the person needs respect yes,but if the person is involved and he is bad i dont think i can respect him if he done bad at me hehhee...if your good all the time they always use your kindness and stuffs. i guess some people are users, even though you give your best they just use you,they just seen you if they need you and dont give them bs, just now prioritize yourself,

I believe respect is earned, not given away. I don't respect people for the sake of gaining their respect. I'm proud to have respects of people that I do because I know that I have earned them, not because "if you do this for me, I'll do this for you" type of attitude. I do agree that there should be a common courtesy. I think too many people confuse the difference between them, courtesy & respect. I'm not gonna walk upto a stranger & call them names. Because I don't know them. I will hold the door open for those who have difficulties, pregnant women, people on clutches or wheelchairs, etc. I have few friends who I hold close to my heart. I value their advice regardless of the content of it, even if they curse me out, I know for a fact that they mean that for my own good. That would be a trust & respect, & they have earned mine to the fullest extent.

People like to be respected but they forget why people will respect them at the first place. I respect people who show their respect. But there are many that forget that they have to do their part before others will respect them. They will be so naive to think that people simply "have to" respect them and take it for granted. I feel so sad for them that all the years of the education they have received is pretty much wasted.
