Respect

no i thinck you are right.Becouse if you don't know a person then how can you respect if you don't know his way of thincking, his still of life o others.So i thinck that you shoul respect someoane in the moment that she macke you fill that.

You have the right to work. You may or may not get feelings. You can not create feelings on your own. "Respect" is a term which is releted to awareness of thy truth, God. Respect is a feeling which is powered by God to elders for their works. Thanks

it seems that you have a high regards about yourself and you expect people to correspond to your standards. respect means that you understand their standings, their position, their profession, their preference,their perspective, and the list goes on.example, i respect artist because they have a gift to share to us :music,paintings,acting etc. simply because i can't do that but knowing them is different i may or may not like their personal side. you have to understand that in social relationships , there are no "if's" or conditions. respect should not be earned it should be given because eventually it will be mutually given back to you.it is not lowering your standards but fusing it with reality so we could get along a lot easier.it is called understanding.

Tes its okay that means they must influence you in one way or the other. When leaders have influence, people begin to follow them. When they have respect, people keep following. Thats the power of the Law Influence. Respect is a matter of Leadership, not position, titlt or gender.

I have heard this also ... respect your elders... etc, why, what if the elder in question is a fool, or vicious miserable excuse for a human being? Should I respect someone like Charles Manson because he is older than I am? I think not. I do think we should give others common courtesy, but respect must be earned by actions, deeds, by who the person is, not by what name they have, or what date of birth or title they have. I would even go so far as to say I can respect a choice, or decision that someone has made, but still does not mean that person has my respect, just that I respect what they have shown in that one action. As a result very few people have my respect for who they are but several have my respect for aspects of themselves or decisions they showed, until I really know a person I can not give respect. So when you say you will treat them respectfully I think we agree but use different terms, I could of course be wrong. I do give common courtesy to all, have meet some who do not even deserve that, but that is a different issue. I can even respect others rights to have different opinions, doesn't mean I respect them, just that I will honor their right to have that different opinion.

when i really feel like that the person has worth respecting..i respect them...but some time just have to respect to show off but not by heart...but for some i do really respect them by heart..it is not forced to do so

I really understand where you're coming from. I think that we as a society place far too much emphasis on celebrity and what they do. It is a far better system to respect someone for the person that they are, not a talent that they possess. Although it is easy to admire their talent, respet *is* something that should be earned, you're right. I think that maybe sometimes what people mean is that they 'admire' the person's talent, not so much that they respect them. Perhaps it's more of a misuse of the word 'respect' than anything else. I don't know. Just some food for thought.

Giving respect to someone does not mean you like them as a person, but that you respect what they have done or is trying to accomplish. We show respect for the elderly because they have the experienced much, life has taught them and they survived long. we show respect for musicians, actors, famous people, because of what they have done with their life and how they have shared that talent they could have other wise, been selfish and not shared at all. you personally could dislike their music, but still respect them for what they have done. you show respect for those who have fought for your freedom, you don't even know them personally, but if you see a matching band of solders do you feel a deep respect for them? i would have to say yes. i would say, respect is given to those who have, or who is thought to have accomplished much in life. They didn't have to earn it on a personal level. You personally do not have to like them to show respect for their authority and or accomplishments. example being you may not like your boss and the way they have authority over you, but you do respect they are the boss. otherwise you will be out of work. This yes is giving respect out of fear. none the less is giving respect, that wasn't earned but just given. To say someone who has already established respect from many, has to earn it from you, is being disrespectful to them. my father had told me, respect is given, if one feels they must earn your respect,they are no longer willing to receive it from you,the respect they had for you is lost by them in the process of earning it. Therefore his advise was to first give respect to all you meet on your path of life, until they do you wrong,and treat you in a unjustifiable,disrespectful way. The choice is each individuals as to how they view and show respect for another. freedom of choice isn't it nice? cherish it, respect it.

roflmao i dont respect anyone unless i get the feeling to respect them. the feeling is whatever myself tells me.. i can respect my friends that is if they respect me.. i respect my family because they are always there for me.. i don't respect singers, actors and whatnot like that because heck they don't know me and they probably wouldn't take time out to actually know me.

Yes Cfrdjlilbra, there is much truth in what you say.... A person has to deserve respect, this is true, but if a person conducts himself/herself badly I feel only indifference towards him/her. No problems with such persons, I live my life and I don't care of them.

hi, i do agree with that a person has definetly has to earn his there own respect untill or unless they do so we should never respect but still i put a comment that, few people with there extreme talent which is natural to them, earn respect but they never expect respect from others.

I think you've got the right of it. Acting respectfully is a reflection on you. Having respect for someone and being respectful are two different things.

It is rightly said that "First impression is the last imprssion".One should respect someone only if he/she deserves.But also one should not start off with their conversation rudely just without experiancing a person.Yes, it is true that one should not respect anyone just because one says that "You should respect that person".

respect means to have some moral value for the person u think is right. but now a days people r intersted to only earn money by hook or crook they even forgot to reply to someons call. so i think recpect has gone to far to come back but it can be possible if people like us has to restart it, for the others to carry on the job.

We still have to respect them and love them even if they are not worth to be respected or love in any manner.

Well i think people like to respect you till you are of there use when you are not ehy would just dis respect you or ignore you... as i have gone throught all this.

Even I do the same. I think you have misunderstood the words respect and admiration. I admire the celebrities. But respect as you said is earned. Respect is something that you relate to someone's personality and character, while admiration is what you get from someone's talent or charm.

No, you're definitely not alone in that. I remember once listening to my stepdad say something and finshing the sentence with the phrase "... the respect a man my age DEMANDS." "Demands," my hiney! Whereas I tend to give trust very freely, respect is something people have to earn. Of course, I suppose differnt people respect different things. I respect the likes of Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr. for their contributions to the human cause. I respect my various Teachers, over the years. I did NOT, however, respect my stepdad just because he "demanded" it. Nor did I-- when I was in my teens and 20's respect older people just because they were "older." And I sure don't expect youngsters today to respect ME, just because I'm 46...

We just need to respect someone when they have something worth to be repected.But,there is really a fact that almost every one have some special skill that ourself haven't.She is always smile when she meet problem,he is a good cooker,this old man like to help the poors...even these little thing can moving us,even this little thing are not easy to do all the time.So, I think it will be better if we adjust our attitude,try to appreciate and respect some one who were better than ourselves in some demention.

most people should learn how to earn their respect anyway...and the nicest way to do that, is to learn to respect oneself first, then other people, and respect will automatically given to you...
