When you lose respect in my eyes
… and when you gain
The below applies to me as much as to anyone else.
- If you be nice to someone, but start spewing crap about them as soon as they turn their back, you lose respect in my eyes.
- If you say something but do the opposite or don’t even try to live up to what you said, you lose respect in my eyes.
- If you behave like you are the king of this world while everyone else is an idiot, you lose respect in my eyes.
- If you are not loyal, you don’t have any respect in my eyes.
- If you are all about negativity and pessimism and cynicism, you probably will never be able to earn my respect.
- If you are kind to everyone, even though you may not be smart or witty or full of wisdom, you command my respect.
- If you are patient with the ones less fortunate than you; if you listen to the ones who are less experienced than you without dismissing them in between, you demand my respect.
- If you can empathize instead of faking sympathy, you earn my respect.
- If you give without expecting anything in return, you definitely gain my respect.
- If you have the courage to side with what’s right, even though the world be against you, then you are truly worthy of my respect.
