Respect Is For Those Who Deserve It, Not Those Who Demand It

Respect is for those who deserve it, not for
those who demand it.
Everybody wants a little respect, but many
don't realize that real respect is something
that is earned, and something that should
not be taken lightly. Nobody demands
respect until they deserve it, and often
times people who really deserve respect
don't have to ask for it.
If we expect to receive respect from
people in our lives we have to be  willing to
give it out. This means that everyone, from
your best friend, to  your children, will all
need your respect. We must also be willing
to respect ourselves as well, because if we
don't, no one will.
As a people we have to realize that we are
one, and that in order to really respect one
another, we must be willing to mutually
respect one another,  because mutual
respect is the only respect.
