Respect for people - Page 3

Kindness is given, respect is earned.

That said, unfortunately today there is so much disrespect and hateful behavior in our world that many people tend to imitate what they see and hear. If we don't do a better job of setting good examples, the children growing up won't know any better.

Treat people as you would like to be treated. If someone is disrespectful or mean, just ignore them. Obviously the person is not anyone you want in your orbit.

I also think respect is earned. If I see someone being disrespectful, I am turned off. The person is going to have to work twice as hard to earn my respect.

If I am around someone who seems to have no respect for another, it upsets me. I am cordial to everyone around me and I think its the least we can do for each other. You don't have to be crazy about everyone who has been put in your life for one reason or another, but it certainly makes living much easier when people show respect or at least act as though they have some. When faced with someone like this, I try my hardest to have minimal contact. To treat them the same way as they treat you, only makes the situation worse and escalates it. However, if someone's behavior is really out of line, nasty, cruel, etc., then I will let them know about it. It doubtless will not change their attitude but sometimes you just have to speak up.

Golden,

I know you are a caring person by ALL of your posts--and for me, dog owners seem to have a kind spirit (Goldens & Border Collies are all gentle-- and their owners). I must add that this week has been tough as I started a post Thursday about a poster who's gone, and you shared in it. For some reason, I have been affected to the point of not wanting to post--somehow, it all seems meaningless now. Thanks for spreading light in a dark world.

My daughter is a manager for Darden and sometimes they will put two concepts side by side.

One day the General Manager from the next door restaurant went into hers, asked to speak to with a manager because they needed to borrow something. My daughter was wearing her white kitchen jacket because it was a busy truck day. She said sure, what is it you need, I'll go check if we have enough to share. The GM from next door said she wanted to talk to a real manager, you're just a culinary person...I can only imagine how she treated her dishwashers. She (next door) was eventually let go because she wasn't able to retain staff.

I do not respect people that do not respect people....

It makes me want to avoid them. I may not have respect for them, but I won't usually outwardly act on it, unless they are being mean to another or myself and I will defend myself and others.

There are a few folks who I do try to stay away from in real life, because they don't have respect for anyone.

IMO "respect" is kind of a vague term. Attitude usually shows in a person's behavior. How does this show in their actions? Is it language? Violence? Rudeness? Do they ignore/snub you?
