Respect

In the bible it says treat others the way you want to be treat but my version of it is respect others the way you want to be respected. if you disrespect someone badly you get that in return.This word "respect", it's only 7 letters but why does it mean so much to us. parents want us to respect them and our siblings but why show respect to your siblings when they don't show it back to you? Respect we show it to our elders and to people who we don't know. When people disrespect us we are quick to attack them back because it's in our blood to. People say that they treat you the same way that they wanna be treated but how come that becomes a lie. We get this little set of rules as kids to respect people but how come people never gave us a set of rules to disrespect people when they disrespect us. You can make 10 sentences with using the word respect that's how popular the word is today and forever will be.We are taught to respect certain things in life and certain people. By giving respect, we hope to gain self-respect and through self-respect, we gain the respect of others. Self-respect is one of the qualities people stress and try to nurture. Once you lose your self-respect, you just go down. Respect has different meanings and different sayings to it. Men and women are respectable only if they respect you in return.Only those who respect the personality of others can be in real use to them.If one doesn't respect oneself one can have neither love nor respect for others.Respect for ones parents is the highest duty of civil life unless the parents is being a completely jerk face to you.

Quote about life by Benjamin Franklin
The best thing to give to your enemy is forgiveness; to an opponent, tolerance; to a friend, your heart; to your child, a good example; to a father, deference; to your mother, conduct that will make her proud of you; to yourself, respect; to all men, charity.
