RESPECT.... Earned not forced




In relationships I think the major factor after mutual understanding and love is respect. Most people respect those who inspire them and want to emulate them.                                                         
Treating people in a way we would like to be treated is crucial. Relating with them in a respectful manner makes them feel wanted In leadership you find that you have to be strict yet not harsh, condescending and demeaning in relating with your subordinates or siblings.... Leadership comes hand in hand with patience and tolerance.                                                          
Respect is earned not forced or shoved down people’s throats .... You don't have to force someone to respect you it comes naturally.

 To say respect is reciprocal is overflogged, for instance in the Yoruba culture respect means every thing to them... Its so bad that you have to call your sister/ brother-in -law whom you are older than ‘’brother/sister’’. You knell down totally to greet your elders and so on.

The funny thing about disrespectful people is that they find it easy to bully and be condescending to other people but when its done to them they are angry the question is why??? Why does it hurt?? It simply means its wrong and in no way the way to treat others.

Sometimes I wonder mabye if they have a complex problem and this attitude makes them feel complete and whole .Treat people nicely... It doesn’t reduce your life span.
