R-E-S-P-E-C-T

Sometimes people don't understand what respect really means....it bothers me. You should treat people how you would like to be treated. Would I like to be a jerk to everyone? No. So lets look at what the definition of respect is...
RESPECT
-(usually preceded by `in') a detail or point; 'it differs in that respect'
-esteem: the condition of being honored (esteemed or respected or well regarded); 'it is held in esteem'; 'a man who has earned high regard-an attitude of admiration or esteem; 'she lost all respect for him'
-deference: a courteous expression (by word or deed) of esteem or regard; 'his deference to her wishes was very flattering'; 'be sure to give my respects to the dean'
-obedience: behavior intended to please your parents; 'their children were never very strong on -obedience'; 'he went to law school out of respect for his father's wishes'
-regard highly; think much of; 'I respect his judgement'; 'We prize his creativity'
-regard: a feeling of friendship and esteem; 'she mistook his manly regard for love'; 'he inspires -respect'
-show respect towards; 'honor your parents!'"

I think if we all knew what was supposed to be respect the world would be a better place. We should be loving and caring of others and this worlds is not that. Step by step, breath by breath, we should be exuding love towards others and just as important ourselves. Without respect and love this world isn't worth being around. So try to be a better person today and show that you love and respect someone. It may be something small like holding the door or something big like flowers and candy, but do something, anything. Try to make this world a better place than what it is. Love and peace
