Grow up.
Sometimes I wonder why I bother controlling the ugly side of myself when the elders I face in this world display all ugliness for me to put up with.
"Does this warrant respect?" I always ask myself.
Does this mean that, just because I respect and listen to them, they can do what they deem fit and say what they feel like saying?
I really do not think so.
I think I have done enough for this community for you to treat me with more respect than this. Bringing someone else into the picture does not give you more status and authority to ride over my head. If you must make a comparison, I think I have more authority than you do, "young lady". But I do not like to think of myself this way, because this was thrust upon me.
I comply because it's charity and love, not because I'm afraid of the consequences of not giving in to you.
