(no subject)
I am incredibly and outragiously shocked. and frusterated, because I cant even talk about it. I mean, it would hurt people, and maybe not people that I like but people that I respect. well, I dont know what respect really means at this point. people that I would rather not see getting hurt, especially right now. oh man, I want to hint at this thing so bad... but I cant, so dont ask. seriously.
Lunch time is great. just hanging out, in my hole wuth my computer, burting wiht totally inapropraite gossip that I cant top thinking about but cant talk about either. nothing outloud anyway. of course, since Kristina and I have amicus stickies we can gossip all day long.
Back to respect. what is it? I mean, dictionary.com says it means:
1. To feel or show deferential regard for; esteem.
2. To avoid violation of or interference with: respect the speed limit.
3. To relate or refer to; concern.
and considering I am not even sure what that means... eh.
I think I genereally have a certain type of respect for all people, just by virtue of thier lives. or of thier being alive. but I dont now where the respect line is drown, or if there even should be one, for people who have hurt me, or shown themselves in some way to be completely fucked up. maybe I am overanalyzing this, but I am just really curious. should I respect someone I dont like? I know they are different, but I cant think of anyone I dont like that I respect. I guess I can, that was a lie. I can think of quite a few people I dont necesarily like but who I can think of one or more traits that I respect about them. or maybe that I can see the virtue of, and is that respect? I mean, if I think that someone is a total liar but they are also really nice, is it ok to resapect how nice they are while looking down on how much they lie? or what if a person is really smart, nice, freindly, open minded, and all naround outwardly cool, and then you realize that they cheet on thier significant other. does that wipe away all the other good stuff about them? on paper it seems like it shouldnt, but in reality, does it? and I mean, something like the clinton situation, I mean, yeah, ass-hole, but his personal overly-horneyness didnt make him a bad president, just a bad husband and thats not what I should judge him on anyway, but a friend or an aquantance, can you judge one of those based on being a bad spouse or significant other? I dont know if thats ethical. but then again, it is probabaly not smart to seek friendship with someone who doesnt mind lying to the person they supposedly like best, because if they done even like you best who knows what ways they could mess with you. but thats liking, not respecting. respect is really hard for me. I mean, not the act of respecting, but figuring out what it really is.
Maybe its nothing. its just a word.
