Respect earned or not
How does one deal with others in various situations depends on many things within themselves and one of those issues is respect. Respect for an individual let’s us listen and respond in a completely different manner than those we have little or no respect for. So how does one go about getting respect?
Something I try doing is starting off any relationship with respect. I heard all my life growing up respect is something you earn, but why? Why is it not something we give the benefit of the doubt to and then adjust accordingly? I always felt people deserve that from the get go. I have tried to live by that for myself. People don't earn it from me they start off with it.
Doesn't everyone deserve some respect? Give credit where credit is due. There is something uniquely nifty about everyone. Seek that and any ideals or hopes you set for that person may actually be reached. Give them the respect they deserve and in the end hopefully you will get the respect you deserve.
Peace.

I'm with you...everyone deserves to start out on an even playing field by giving everyone the benefit of doubt. We should all be thinking about what we can give and not what we get. If our giving is done from the heart with no ulterior motives, we'll ultimately receive so much in return.
