The issue of people being fixated on whether somebody is 'disrespecting' them is a recent development, which from my observation, has coincided with the development of the 'me now' generation who do not respect themselves or anything else. |
||
Previously, we developed self respect and through acting based on our self respect, we earned the respect of others. The truth is that we cannot expect others to respect us if we do not respect ourselves. |
||
Those who will shout and become upset that we have not respected them, are reacting because without receiving respect from others, they have no respect at all. |
||
If we have self respect, we do not need the respect from others, but nevertheless we usually receive respect from others, because we earn their respect by our actions, which are based on self respect. |
