Respect

You can live without someone's respect, since most likely you've been living most of your life without the respect of people you don't well, whether they're people you just met at work or people you've known for a while. Your soul might not be replaceable though.
I'd rather be me than you or anybody else, even if nobody likes/respects me for it. Anybody can be trained to do something as a skill, but nobody can train somebody to be who they are, you are who you are for a reason. Respect isn't everything. Becoming a functional part of a machine to get respected isn't any good for me.

Respect

Respect is not essential to life. You dont need anybody else's respect to live, and they dont need yours. The most chicken shit people are the ones who wont stand alone when nobody likes or respects them. Gangs are full of chicken shits.
Britney Spears and a gang member aren't so different, they stand only with a group, only when they're in the majority, outnumbering the other guy. Nobody needs respect to keep going, and not being respected doesn't stop anybody. A lot of people seem to think they're going to disrespect Trump out of power. Like anybody who is human, he cares what people think of him, but not being respected won't change or stop anything he's doing, get real about life. A guy like Trump wouldn't have the kind of power he does if people could vote him out of office in a fair, democratic election. Theres never been any such thing, that's life.

Respect

You are not turned on my that you lying-ass bitch. You are a Goddamn liar.
Hym "You are not 'turned on by respect' you bitch. You are a Goddamn bitch. Hey, you know what I'm turned on by? You want to know? I'm turned on by fucking relationships! That's what I'm turned on by. Do you believe that? Do you believe that thing I just said? I'm turned on but long term sexless relationships! I'm turned on my platonic friendships with women! That's what I'm turned on by. Fucking idiot."

Respect

It is a made-up belief within our evolving measurement system we use to evaluate values, fairness, and potential.

Made-up belief... Because there is no measurement unit (inches, gallons, meters, etc.), we create it based on our experiences, culture, and what we have been exposed to. Beliefs can be changed instantly with new information. This system is subjective and created by the individual. Thus, made up.

Evolving measurement system... Respect is, by definition, a judgment of worth. This assessment system is always evolving as we grow, learn more, and see things differently. My respect system at 21 is very different than at 40.

The main categories we assess respect falls under three main categories. Values, potential, and fairness. Here are some words that fall in these categories. (there are many more)

Values: Trust, safety, consideration, loyalty, morals, disregard, Rudeness, generosity, kindness, manners, principal(s), intelligence, skill, hard-working, accountability, status, and punctuality.

Potential: Belief, obedience, loyalty, defiance, Love, kindness, effort, tact, winning, accomplishments, status, achievements, elders, winning a championship, gold medal, doctorate, graduation.

Fairness: Appreciation, generosity, justice, support, differences, kindness, the golden rule.
I respect people who treat others the way they like to be treated.

I respect the effort and dedication they put in to build their dream!

I respect people on time and who are considerate of others' schedules.
