A post by a good friend of mine made me push ahead with my treatise on ♪ ♫ R*E*S*P*E*C*T ...find out what it means to me ♪ ♫ (as sung by the legendary and amazing Aretha) . I put thought and effort here on my posts so consequently, I do my research in order to best impart my meaning without sounding pedantic. First , and on the simplest level, you cant demand respect, you have to earn it. I think I do that but, if not, please let me know. However, Jenna (as well as many of you whove told me similar stories) is a kind, sweet, normal, woman who sometimes may get disrespectful and presumptuous guys saying very inappropriate things to them in public but it gets way worse when the perp resorts to lewd and vulgar things they feel free to say in private messages. You guys ( male and female both) all know that I respect and care about every single one of you and I demonstrate that regularly but sheeesh, the stupidity of some people is beyond all bounds. Any intelligent guy knows that a woman worth being with or around wont respond to behavior of that kind. (or SHOULD know). Yeah, testosterone can be to blame ( I have way more than my share -shhhhh) but my brain controls my mouth and not the other way around. So.....over time here, Ive done a poll. Below are some partial results ( if I wrote it ALL here, yall probably wouldnt stay and read it anyway, LOL) I asked some of you some questions regarding love and respect....here are a few of the results. *I would rather feel unloved than disrespected. *Respect for yourself and others is key.Being alone isnt that scary to me. Its not ideal, but I’d rather be alone, successful in my career, and making a difference in society than be with someone who disrespects me and makes me feel inadequate. *Feeling disrespected and consequently inadequate is very hard...especially disrespected…I have a strong personality, so that one would be much harder for me. *The worse situation would be being disrespected and made to feel inadequate by everyone. As a woman, I consider RESPECT to be an extremely important characteristic. If you dont have respect, people will always think of you as inadequate, not worthy, etc. Eventually this would impair your own sense of self-worth and self-confidence. Okay I have lots more but you get the idea. Respect is vital to you at home, at work, on the road, among your friends. If ANYONE , after being given a chance to apologize and change immediately, doesnt choose to do so.....you must rid them from your life or pay a high price in peace of mind, self esteem, and joy in life. Its also threatening and intimidating too and that disrupts the security and happiness you need and deserve. If you need more info or advice, you know Im here several times a day. I could write about this for another hour or two but Im wise enough to know when enough is enough. Its pretty easy on Facebook though.....just BLOCK the fool and never see or deal with them again. Its a very effective tool here. In real life, not quite so. Im here though if you need me. A bunch of you who will read this have already sought ( and gotten ) my help. And while were on the subject of respect....has any one of you ever gotten any less from me. I respect you all! Were all together on this little bitty planet and we need to stick together. Can I get a hell yeah? ( thatll tell me who read this all the way through) LOL
