I am sorry, I deserve my respect to hell with your love. There can be respect without love but never love without respect. I love my space and I sure want my well earned respect reason being, I try my level best to respect others (however much it is killing me) so the least they can do is respect me back(not love)
Totally, some people do not deserve respect at all and others want to treat others like they are slimy, good for nothing fools that exist within their viscinity. This cuts accross: friends, family, colleagues even random people!(call them strangers)
I think most of us have our own imagination of respect and love. This is how I describe respect " I trust that every sound minded person (child or adult) will do what they do with a good reason in mind (at least in their opinion)." My duty therefore is to treat them as such not like " what the hell were you thinkg?!" ofcourse, if it is a child I can go ahead to correct them that perhaps this way should have been a better way. Parent, if you did that to your 7 year old, you'd be their hero FOREVER.
I dislike it when a colleague, sometimes even of a lower rank than mine, disrespects me. Then I completely hate it when someone who thinks they are your superior by vitue of the office they hold disrespects me. Now, when my supervisor disrespects me, our relationship is tarnished and for their information, in my books, they go a rung lower. So, watch out people!
Yes, I am ranting because its good therapy to put things out there rather than bottle them up. So thanks for bearing with me through this post :))
Bottom line, give me respect any day!
