Respects
It’s often said that “it doesn’t matter who we are. We all have our successes and failures. We all make mistakes but what matters is how we move forward and how much we learned from them”
Moreso, honour can’t be traded with capital but it’s earned by merit. Without much Ado, and not to beat around the bush.
Respects is a wide term. Philosophers interpret it in different ways. Generally speaking, it is a positive feeling or action expressed towards something. It could also refer to something held in high esteem or regard. Showing Respect is a sign of ethical behaviour.
Unfortunately, in the contemporary era, there has been an undermining of the value of Respect. Most noteworthy, there are two essential aspects of Respect. These aspects are self-respect and respect for society.
Self-Respect refers to loving oneself and behaving with honour and dignity. It reflects respect for oneself. An individual who has Self-Respect would treat himself with honour. In addition, lacking Self-Respect is a matter of disgrace. An individual who does not respect himself, should certainly not expect Respect from others. This is because nobody likes to treat such an individual with Respect, “has it’s said ” Respect is reciprocal”
It’s also the foundation of a healthy relationship. In relationships, it is important to respect your partner. Similarly, it is equally important to Respect yourself. A Self-Respecting person accepts himself with his flaws. This changes the way how others perceive the individual. An individual, who honours himself, would prevent others from disrespecting him. This certainly increases the value of the individual in the eyes of their partner.
Lacking Self-Respect brings negative consequences. An individual who lacks Self-Respect is treated like a doormat by others. Furthermore, such an individual may engage in bad habits. Also, there is a serious lack of self-confidence in such a person. Such a person is likely to suffer verbal or mental abuse. The lifestyle of such an individual also becomes sloppy and untidy.
Respect is a reflection of toughness and confidence. Self-Respect makes a person accept more responsibility, the character of such a person would be strong. Also, such a person always stands for his rights, values, and opinions.
It improves the morality of the individual. Such an individual has a good ethical nature. Hence, Self-Respect makes you a better person, It also eliminates the need to make comparisons. This means that individuals don’t need to make comparisons with others.
Some people certainly compare themselves with others on various attributes. Most noteworthy, they do this to seek validation from others. Gaining Self-Respect ends all that.
Furthermore, we should not forget to extend our respect to society. Everyone must Respect fellow human beings.
This is an essential requirement of living in a society. We certainly owe a basic level of respect to others in the society we inhabit. Moreover, appropriate Respect must be shown to people who impact our lives. This includes our parents, relatives, teachers, friends, fellow workers, authority figures, etc.
Respect is not only limited to physical action or sign but can also be shown orally and verbally, one of the best ways of showing respect to others is listening. Listening to another person’s point of view is an excellent way of Respect. Most noteworthy, we must allow a person to express his views even if we disagree with them.
Also, note, Respect is not just within our world but also in our Cultural beliefs, Religious, and even Political environment. The religious and cultural beliefs of others should be given a lot of consideration. Respecting other people’s Religions is certainly a sign of showing mature Respect.
Nonetheless, although this set of people earned their respect not with force or their power
So, therefore, Everyone must Respect those who are in authority. Almost everyone deals with people in their lives that hold authority.
