Respect Yourself...

[roseleaf]

There's an image that's been popping up on Facebook and Pinterest lately that has me pondering this morning.  The quote is, "Respect yourself enough to walk away from anything that no longer serves you, grows you, or makes you happy

Will you marry me?

[roseleaf]

I'll have to think about it. Are you ready to serve me, help me grow, and make me happy always and always?

That bugged me too, for all the reasons you cited. It seems to sum up what's wing with people today.

[roseleaf]

Yes. It's entitlement and lack of commitment all rolled into one. ;-)

I was wondering if you flipped it if it would be better:

Respect yourself enough to walk away from anything that hurts you, hinders you, or makes you sad. A little better, but the sad part is unrealistic and self-centered too.

That is better. The "or" is a problem in the negative, though, where it was helpful in the positive. Maybe hurts you, hinders you, AND makes you sad?
