I Am Alive! πŸ™ƒ


As Newton's third law states: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This is applied to mechanics, but it can in fact be applied to general norms of society as well, one of which the notion of respect.


"You earn respect" is another sentence we often here, and there is definitely some truth to that. Sadly, in our modern day world, there are some who think they can demand or purchase respect, usually people in power. And for some that may seem to work. But actually it doesn't. In most of those demanding cases, someone may show respect to someone else in power, but it will always be nothing more than an act. In their core belief people will never respect you, if you merely demand it, even though they may act like they do.


So don't force your will on people. Be yourself, be understanding and earn that respect.



Now for an appropriate daily funny image to balance out all the drama.

This is usually just an act of "using the person in power", and not respect... Usually, people "pretend to have respect" to get some benefits from someone... As, it's not a real respect, it last only until the moment that those "benefits" are coming in...

Also true. These people who supply the benefits usually don't even demand the respect, but in direct or indirect way, they do purchase it, maybe without knowing.
