Contemplation: Respect vs. Respect

Context is everything...

920 0

I recently read the following Truth somewhere online, and it resonated with me, thought I’d share:


Sometimes people use the word respect in a way that means to treat someone like a human being, and sometimes people use the term respect in a way that means to treat someone as an authority.

And sometimes, people who are used to being treated as an authority say: “If you don’t respect me, I won’t respect you.”

But what they actually mean is: “If you don’t respect me as an authority, I won’t respect you as a human being.”

And this is never an acceptable demand or behavior.
