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

A word that is often misused and abused. Everyone talks about wanting respect, but very few people in this world actually know how to SHOW it. I think a good amount of the blame lies in the fact that our society pretty much trains us all to be selfish and greedy. "Look out for yourself first!" I don't know how many times I have heard that. Interpreted correctly, it should be taken as protect yourself and your best interests. However, it is often misinterpreted as, "how can I make this situation work in my favor."

I am not calling anyone out in this post or trying to stir anything up. I just see/hear this word being used and abused way too much these days. If you want respect, learn to give it and give it correctly. Please.
