Dear Population of the Earth,

I'm going to teach you a brand new word. (Tremble in awe now.)

Respect

"To pay due attention to and refrain from violating something."
See also the Wikipedia article on the matter.Respect. It's an important thing, but it is something we're critically short of here on our planet ( Read more... )

letter, important

Oh yes, advice is all well and good. :) And I think it's very much related to my post - so it's totally alright. :D

You dont know me but I saw this through Brandi's journal and was amazed, also touched.

Aww. :) Thank you. I'm glad I made an impression.

Yes, my point of view exactly. Respect. I don't believe you have to like it (it=somebody's way of life, for example), but you HAVE to respect. And it is acceptable to presume that you're being respected as well. One shouldn't think that one's somehow less valuable as a human, whatever the situation is or he one's values are. *nods ( ... )

You could say that they don't deserve to be respected, but doesn't that apply to every single being?
Umm... What I meant was that shouldn't every single being be respected, not that nobody deserves it. Hoo-boy, past my bedtime, you can tell it by the grammar and typing. x.0
