Respect, What It Truly Is
One must give respect to one-self before it can be given to others, or even before one can be respected.
Like love, respect must be the way we deal with ourselves.
If we do not respect ourselves, we put out signals to other that it is ok to disrespect us, hence others will find it very hard, if not imposable to react in a respectful manner.
Respect is not just action.
A show of respect, is not true respect it is just what it says, a show of respect!
It is easy for any of us to act respectful, be respectful, or show respect, but that is exactly what we are doing. Acting like we respect each other. This is not true respect at all.
When we truly respect, we send a message of positively from the right side of our brain, {the emotional centre}, to our soul and our soul then send out positive emotional energy.
Much in the same way we send love to one another.
We think loving thoughts towards or about them.
Respectful thoughts can be sent the same way, and with the show as well it becomes true respect.
When one only respect?s because someone demands it, there is no sincerity within and it is phony.
One must give respect to others before others can give respect to them.
Many people, such as authority figures, {police to criminals, judges to accused, parents to children, teachers to student, manager to staff, seem to believe, {usually due to their position in society}, others should automatically respect them but they do not have to be respectful towards the people they are demanding respect from.
At best they may receive a show of respect but, actual respect is also sincere and has emotion attached.
If I want someone to respect me, I must give the same respect.
Since respect is universal, {in the same aspect as love is}, it has to be given to be received as all else in this universe works likewise.
Respect is Sincerely:
In thought, word and deed:
1. Respecting oneself
2. Being honest as possible
3. Being sincere and not playing head games
4. Seeing clearly another's boundaries and not crossing them, unless requested to do so.
5. Being honorable, dignified, open minded, caring and polite towards oneself and others
6. Keeping one's word to themselves and others
7. Being able to look into others eyes when conversing or communicating in any way
8. Being open to the fact that, respect is earned and goes both ways no matter what you position within society is.
