Respect.

Postby Schnauzer » Tue Nov 16, 2010 8:49 pm

I have just received a rather interesting pm from a member who has rather viciously attacked my views on 'Respect'.

My first thoughts were that such written effrontery should be ignored, since the author of the pm is generally quite incapable of exhibiting 'Respect' in most of the responses to any of the posts (the aforementioned member) either submits or responds to, particularly if the views of the proposer or other member's opinion is not in tandem.

My next thoughts were rather more considered and it occurred to me that the question of 'Respect' is something deserving of a little 'In Depth' debating.

I truly believe (having witnessed many exchanges on this forum) that the MEANING of the word is quite misunderstood and I believe it is worthy of some examination.

Respect is as valid to the savage in the deepest jungle as it is to the 'Lord of the Manor' or anywhere else on the face of the earth where a person has 'Respect' for their own society.

If one fails to show 'Respect' for another society, whether that society is acceptable or not, then the failure is with the one who lacks the quality (or knowledge/willingness) to demonstrate it.

Respect has MANY forms but FEW interpretations, I do wonder if other members might be interested to compare their OWN views on 'Respect' with those that are easily researched in any dictionary.

No offensive language please, this is a serious matter. :wink:

If so, please condense the post and accept my thanks for your effort but, in so doing, please endeavour to include all the relevant points. :wink:
