RESPECT IS EARNED

Font size: Decrease font Enlarge font


Sir,

What we should constantly bear in mind is that the universe responds to our vibrations and not to what we say. If we tap into the defiant vibration it is obvious that we too shall find defiant people along our path for we can always only get what we already have.


Showing respect receives the utmost of consideration in return. Like any other vibration tapped into while speaking to another, the person being addressed can ‘feel’ when the speaker has ulterior motives and thus the reason why certain people get annoyed or irritated even before the person addressing them has completed the sentence.


It should be borne in mind that we are all born with ‘instincts’ and despite the dross we may have acquired over the years, those instincts do not totally disappear and they become the ‘guiding light’ and ‘protection’ for many.
It is those instincts that stop one from seizing what appears to be an opportunity in realisation that; that so called opportunity can only lead to despair, heartbreak and loss. It is imperative that we remain conscious of others’ energies while speaking to them. Do not be taken by the so called ‘charm’ people put on when they are endeavouring to con one.


The mere fact that many say they have to utilize certain terms while speaking to others is simply that; since it has been indoctrinated in them to address others by those terms they tend to use the terms freely and unconsciously. It is not uncommon to be called by any of those terms and immediately thereafter to hear that person passing defamatory remarks about one, when that person thinks that the other is out of earshot.
I believe respect is earned, it cannot be imposed on one. Indeed how can one impose a title upon someone whose mannerisms and intentions one does not know?


In a world where most are out for what they can extract from another, it is of utmost importance unfortunately in this day and age that one follows one’s intuition instead of listening to ‘titles’. 
I believe the time has come where parents and teachers alike should focus more on teaching others about treating people as they would like to be treated instead of indoctrinating in them the titles they should address others by.
The very parents and teachers should practice what they preach. People know and feel when others respect them. How can the very parents and teachers show little respect towards those they expect to receive respect from?

If you feel you are being disrespected then the time has come for you to change your mannerisms, tone, posture and attitude towards those whom you are addressing for you can only always get that which you yourself already have!
