I've been thinking about the way I deal with people. Been reading about it. One of the concepts that comes up most often is that of respect.
But the truth is, I have no idea what is respect. I can feel respect for certain people, and I can feel that I lack it for certain others. I notice that some people lose all respect quickly by doing something that clashes with my ideals. But I can't put into words what makes respect or how to express it.
I'm rebuilding myself again after a dreadful month, and I could use some perspective. Respect in one of the topics I want to understand and embrace. Hubski is full of people far more competent in such matters than I am, so I thought I'd ask here as a first measure of discovery.
So. What is respect? How do I show respect to those who've earned mine? What does it mean to disrespect someone?
