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.

Get the Respect mug.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 respecting doesnt stop anybody.
