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 or expecting others to 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.
