Respect matters for us to be a polite, kind, and caring person that cares for the needs of others. When we respect each other, we feel safe to express ourselves in a group, and so much more can be achieved. Respect should be a given, as you should not be told to respect people in authority. If you disrespect others, they will most likely not show respect. Disrespect for others will follow as people constantly watch how you interact with and treat others.
If you rent a house or stay at a hotel, you should leave it in the same or better condition than when you first entered it. If you see a problem that needs fixing, tell someone; they will be more than happy to fix it for you. Do not let their plumbing drip and cause damage to their establishment. Do not steal towels or anything at the place where you stay. Do not turn off the heat in the winter months. Any damages that you cause make for higher rates down the road for you and the next guy.
Show respect to authority figures, such as police officers, first responders, teachers, and the elderly. Remember, you may need a police officer to save your life someday. Do not try to speed around an ambulance; remember, you may be in an ambulance yourself eventually. Respect your teachers as they try to teach you to be knowledgeable and successful. If you did not earn an A on a test, do not expect them to give you an A. You must work for or make an A by doing everything you require to get an A. Treat the elderly respectfully by being kind, caring, and polite. They have contributed much to society and made the world better for you. Never be mean or disrespectful to someone who depends upon you for their care and daily needs. Reality check you will be old someday, and is that how you would want to be treated? Ponder that for a while.
Respecting others helps release stress from their daily lives and creates a fair work environment. Accept someone else even if you do not precisely agree with their point of view about the matter a hand. Lend a hand or ear to others when needed.
Be quiet in a Cathedral and reflect upon God while you are seated. Shake hands and talk to your church family before and after the service. Model polite behavior. Regardless of how we perceive other people to be, we are all God’s creations, and it is God’s will or us to show respect to one another today and always. Feel or show esteem or honor for someone or something.
