Respect

"I fucking respect you very much."

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.

Respect

Something nobody owes anybody else just for breathing and maintaining a constant body temperature.
Theres too many people who think the world owes them the respect they're positive they deserve.

Respect

“Respect” has a multitude of contexts typically meaning:

“Tolerant” (being patient with, or accepting someone for who they are.)

or

“Admiration” (Really liking somebody, finding them to be really cool, honorable, etc.)

People often misconstrue the two.

Then there’s “Respect” that people in authority or power demand. (Government, Kings, parents, teachers, police, etc.) Which simply means in that context: “to be feared,” or “to be obedient to” and to follow orders without question or complaint.

Not everyone is going to like or admire you for who you are. That’s fine, and it should be earned. I hear this all the time, and it’s true.

But EVERYONE should at least be tolerated and treated fairly, regardless of their race, religion, opinions, status, passions, etc. Whether it’s a human being, animal, or otherwise.

At least if they can’t be accepted or admired by you that is.

Otherwise we can’t get along as a race, and will constantly fight and try to change each other, instead of accepting each other for who we are.

Respect/Tolerance is the glue that binds us together.

Without it...

There would be absolute chaos, and destruction amongst ourselves.

Respect. ✊
