Respect

This is one definition that doesn't speak for everybody, but is a universal common sense definition. Knowing that everybody is not the same, doesn't think the same, doesn't do things the same way without trying to convert the other person to your way of doing things is respect. Once you try and convert other people to your way of doing things, you don't respect them. This applies to people who wear masks, it also applies to people who dont wear masks, and try to run off the people who do wear masks. It also applies to race and statues. Thinking someone should respect your race and your martin luther king statues while trying to get Confederate statues removed is not true respect. Expecting someone to compromise before you can respect them is not respect, it's the opposite. Compromise is also not a sign of growing up.

Elementary school kids learn how to call people sir, ma'am, mr., and mrs., and doing so is not a sign or a symbol of true respect for somebody else, which is why false respect or pretending to respect someone is not better than no respect or disrespect, and is sometimes the exact same thing.

Spirit untamed

Look at that, she made a movie about herself, that's kind of like an artist that paints pictures or murals of themself around a town they're not even from. Despite all the people she tried to make fun of in life by calling them narcissistic, it doesn't get any more narcissistic than that.

Spirit untamed is about you, what did people expect it to be about, somebody else?

Open relationship

It's simple enough, if you seal up the leaks, your relationship will be airtight again, it wont be open.

Not everything needs to be loosened in life, things fall apart that way. An open relationship is one of them.

Ally

There's a difference between standing for something that's right, and kissing people's asses. A lot of white guys nowadays think they owe somebody with darker skin or hair an apology for something some other white guy (or girl) did to someone with darker skin than them, and that being an ally to people you don't even know is wise. Is every black guy an ally of another black guy because they both have darker skin? Is every black female an ally of every black male? Before a white guy gives in to the demands of a group of people, it would be good if he thought about shit like that, and whether any of the people in this group were ever really his allies.

Sometimes it's better to openly be enemies than to pretend to be friends with somebody else to avoid conflict. Not everyone who is black is an ally of each other, so why wouldn't a white guy determine on an individual basis which black people were friends and which black peole were foes, even if he ended up looking racist because of it? Wouldn't that make more sense than blindly putting trust in a group of people you never met to support an agenda you have no good information about?

Charlotte

A city so small you need a microscope to find it in the woods, in the same way you need a microscope to locate the penis of a guy from charlotte.

That guy is from charlotte, he must get a less than three inch hard on when somebody talks about the city he's from.
