In light of recent events (the shootings and stabbings of women because they rejected someone, and that's only what's been happening in America), I thought it'd be a good idea to talk about respect.
Respect is asking someone what they think and then listening to the answer.
Respect is keeping a promise.
Respect is being a confidant when needed and not spreading secrets.
Respect is asking for permission before doing something.
Respect is being honest.
Respect is honoring a person's choice and trusting their judgment.
Respect is offering advice when asked, but not forcing an opinion.
Respect is letting a person believe what they want to believe.
Respect is listening to what a person says.
Respect is treating a person as an equal.
Respect is responding well to what a person asks you to do or not to do, and following their request if appropriate.
Respect is allowing a person to disagree or disappoint you and still not doing anything to hurt him or her.
Respect is never intentionally hurting someone.
Respect is never judging a person because he or she is different.
Respect is letting a person be him or herself.
Respect is admiring a person for who they are.
Respect is honoring a person's life as a precious thing, and trying to be a good presence in it.
Respect is, and always will be, a vital part of love and life.
