Respect what is it to some? A sense of ensuring self worth? Excellence of a person? Deference of rights? Either way you put it we all want respect. Do we? Its amazes me to hear how some of the younger generation talk to one another. Why do they not see how words can be so powerful? Walking to the store I overheard a young man telling a girl she's a bitch?! I wasn't expecting to hear that kind of language at 8:30 in the morning!! Yet alone the word B*&^H!! The girl casually laughed as if it was a joke. I shook my head in disbelief because all I could think was, this girl does not LOVE herself. It's really sad because she doesn't know her self worth. How could she as a young woman allow a young man to degrade her as individual? But you know what this all stems from home. Children hear and see everything and it stays with them. Maybe this young girl heard her mother, sister, aunt or cousin be disrespected in some way that made her believe it's OK for this kind of treatment. I only hope that the young woman finds respect and love within herself to not allow anyone to undermine her as individual. RESPECT and LOVE yourself cyber world!!
