RESPECT
Giving respect to people whom I disliked always bothered me.Though artificially I expressed my respect ,inwardly I feared that my fake expression will be caught .At the same time the fear of loosing respect rising within me amused me also .I too wanted to be respected.And I began observing me and the people around me.The desire for respect is deeply sown in the human heart,which compels people to be reserved,composed and serious.Yearning for respect is a wish you may get it ,but the fear of humiliation is fatal which will create all kind of hurdles in our progress.How to get over it ?Like you ,I also thought about it ,read about it ,discussed and contemplated.Why do you respect some one?Because you find qualities which you admire in life with them like honesty ,love,openess,talents,intelligence.Time may bring changes in them .Accordingly they change and you loose respect .You are forced to show respect also ,especially when you work in a hierarachical system .Many will be successful actors ,but a very few fail miserably and suffer and I being one .I always understood that I can respect people whom I admire for their qualities or when they have an appealing goodness within them .You only respect greatness ,but at this same time I have observed weak people admiring and respecting wickedness ,muscle power.Respecting life itself makes you great.Yearning to get respect from others makes you weak.The best thing as other observers said is to have respect for yourself and no one can take away your self respect.
