What does it mean to you?
What does it mean to you?
R-E-S-P-E-C-T find out what it means to me...
(I might come back with an actual response at some point)![]()
Can't think of an all-encompassing definition right now, but I respect people who have high moral standards and who operate at those high standards. In other words, they practice what they preach.

This is me and my dual being scientific together
respect is all i've ever wanted for being myself, whatever it is, however crazy, sane, logical, illogical, rational, irrational, down to earth, head in the clouds.........i happen to be in any given moment of my choosing. i believe i am allowed to be myself as long as i am respecting others in being themselves too as i am.
i believe everyone deserves respect until they prove otherwise, and then, i don't give it back easily or ever again. and the way someone loses my respect is by disrespecting another. yes, irony. but life is full of irony and (what's the word for when two things are going on simultaneously and the opposite of each other?)
while i also believe that as each person deserves respect, i do not like whiners or those that do not at least try to take responsibility for themselves.
Aretha Franklin - Respect
"Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat."
--Theodore Roosevelt
"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."
-- Mark Twain
"Man who stand on hill with mouth open will wait long time for roast duck to drop in."
-- Confucius
respect is not an entitlement. people don't have to respect you. you only get it if you give it and not always even then.
