SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT

Respect for the individual is not a thing of the past, it is very available in the present and future.

Hi Wen applause

You can’t demand respect, it gotta be earned.
This quote has been around for ages! roll eyes

Yep I agree mimiart. thumbs up I always taught my sons, Money, or title does not automatically get respect. Respect must be earned.

Hi whenever, hows it going? Good I hope, healing vibes coming your way teddybear
Hi MiMi, wave treat people the way you want to be treated I think is the key.

hug
Hi Wen.. wave
Some people need to practice what they preach. They preach that they treat others the way they want to be treated. But in practice, they treat others bad but demand to be treated well. They claimed that they treated others with respect but their records showed otherwise.. doh

Anyway, glad to see you are well, Wen. bouquet
Hi Red, I teach my kids that too but I think it goes into one ear and out the other! roll eyes laugh

Honestly, I myself, a lot of times have to do some self-reflection too wink
Hi Red wave well said about money and a title. thumbs up

Thank you. hug
Hi mimiart, excuse me wen I don't mean to steal your blog, but yes mimiart I thought that about (ears) too grin but they are grown ups now, my kids that is laugh and they mix with anyone without feeling an upper or downer laugh they treat people on the person and nothing else, but mind I expect them to curtsey to me when we meet upgrin rolling on the floor laughing
Hi KAL wave you are very right in what you just wrote in your comment.

Thanks for your concern for me in what I am going through. hug
Red, my blogs are always open for anything someone wants to say. handshake
laugh


I think I need to keep drumming it into their head still, Red. One thing for sure, they’re not gonna like it but I don’t care! grin
Wenever you are one of the gentlemen on cs thumbs up hug
I agree with Kal too! thumbs up

Hi Wen.. Nice to see you back..hoping you're doing well and getting better? hug
Does that mean I can't poke fun at anything and everything which tickles me?

I do so like a bit of irreverence. giggle
Hi Daniela wave thank you for your concern it's always good to see you hug
Hi Jac wave .yes you can poke fun at anything or even everything especially me laugh

hug
Wen, my fren, friend,

I also agree with what Kal said, and also what Jac said, and also what Red said, and also what you said.

Hope your health is getting better.

Now, uh when's that next yard sale of yours? I need to buy some used shorts.
cheers
Okay, I'm on the case, wen. thumbs up giggle
Wen, we live in very different times now. Respect for the individual is dead, buried, and jumped on, and that's leading by example from the top down. The more powerful the leader, the more complete contempt he (or she) shows for his (or her) opponents, critics and, increasingly, colleagues and staff.

It's a brave new world.

sigh
Hi Rob, things are going as well as to be expected, I have done one week of treatments and have five more weeks to do. But you know I think I will make it I am on a roll laugh

Yes will set the shorts to a side till I have the yard sale, just keep your eyes out for that bad woman, you know who I am talking about laugh

Thanks for your concern my friend cheers
Jac, I am holding you to it now laugh
Biff glad I'm not top heavy rolling on the floor laughing

Wenever I have jumped in againrolling on the floor laughing glad to be on a blog were we all love each other grin hug
I understand that with my flawless nature I don't treat some people like I probably should but there are times especially when someone doesn't treat me very nice I tend not to turn the other cheek.
Hi Biff wave , yes we are living in different times sad but very true. Like a old saying, let it start with me If it could make a difference.

hug
Bear wave you are only human, sometimes we all fall short I guess the thing is can we pick ourselves up.

Thank you for your comment, and honesty thumbs up

hug
Jac, commitment is a good thing laugh
I'm laying in wait now. devil <--- the nearest I could get to an imp emote.
Continued success to you with the results of your treatments. head banger
It's great to see you back having fun. thumbs up
Biff,
you are so exactly right in what you are saying......good, when somebody but the facts on the table.

When I was young in Finland, we made contracts by shaking hands, it was all based on respect.....in these days you have to make a 1000 sides paper collection and still in the end you have a cord case, about who is right......and only to check what all in that collection means, you need a lawyer to advise you.

And when it goes to different opinions, it goes quickly to personal and name using.....and when politics is coming in, all is bad in the opponents......when in fact, nobody is completely bad.....so if somebody make something wrong, they still can make things right also......but when you are blind to see, as you think your political view is the only right way in everything, then the respect is lost and nothing is good in your opponent.....all turns to personal mocking doh
Hi JimN, thank you for your support, and it is always good to see you on my blogs.

handshake cheers
"Of Course Respect Is Still Around"

"Its Right Here On The Blogs Wenny"

"And?"...."Its Not Here... Also".....................detective
Hi Nam, I believe I have to agree with you on that one. handshake
Sorry wenever I was distracted when I posted my first comment to you and I didn't mean I was flawless cause I have many flaws.
Hi Wen,
Every living being should be given a basic respect.
A deeper respect can then be earned..
Hi Bear, I understood what you was saying thumbs up
Hi Molly wave , I like that well said. handshake

hug
Some people make you lose what little respect you had for them on a daily basis too though laugh
Molly, that was well said also. laugh

You got this Respect thing nailed down laugh
Nailing Respect down...?

That would be disrespectful without Respect's consent. dancing
