respect?

R E S P E C T.

What does it mean to you?? Have you got some? And if you do, how did you earn it? If you give it to others, how did you decide to do that, if in fact you decided at all.

What and who do you respect? How do you know?

is it a feeling in your body?

A voice in your head?

A set of rules and requirements that you have to follow and operate within? Does respect centre you more in yourself or is respect forcing you to deny You, in order to respect someone or something else?

And what about disrespect - is this the worst thing you can do, disrespect someone?

RESPECT⁠
Your Self⁠

...as the song goes⁠

" If you don't respect yourself⁠
ain't nobody gonna give a damn cahoot"⁠

RESPECT, a part of healthy boundaries⁠
RESPECT is love in action⁠
RESPECT is believing in YOU⁠

so⁠
if you aren't respecting you⁠
who are you respecting??⁠

respect

most certainly deserves a very good exploring
in these wild times⁠

of heavily guided opinion⁠
and an onslaught of information⁠
and influence⁠

who are you⁠
giving ⁠
RESPECT⁠

[ what if you started with You?? ]
