Respect controls behavior. Behavior does not control respect. Many find this principle not easy to accept, let alone perform. They do not know which comes first, the chicken or the egg. But have you ever seen two eggs rubbed together and shortly after some chickens appear? When you know the truth, confusion disappears. Respect controls behavior. That is the truth.
Our dealing in life must be limited by the inclusion of respect so that disposition can have order and consequently help to hem in significance…so few in our modern world are given this valuable lesson anymore.
Parents…step up and teach your children well. Respect is not normal. However, it does control behavior. Command respect, but command it respectfully. If not you…who? Maybe we can ask government to do it for us?
Some people have no respect. I have met their children.
Certainly the media has its idea of how to impose greater respect. Let us all permit the world of media to help your children gain respect. What?
Why do we congregate for “paying” someone respect only when they are dead? When was the last time you went to Fred's house before he went to work to pay him respect?
I find the beer can afloat on the lake a great sign that respect is increasing…especially when a group of hikers stood idly by complaining about it. Shortly thereafter, a dog picked it up. Good dog.
Respect is not a responsibility, it is response to ability.
