RESPECT: what does respect mean to you? i had the opportunity to overhear 2 young men discussing it, and thought it would make a great question.

    it is more than just saying no sir or yes sir. It is what you don't do and do not do. for example words not disobeying your elders and doing what your told. And also aplogizing when you are wrong and forgiving someone when they do you wrong.

    Respect means to me that, I have a conscience awareness of myself starting at my core. This kind of self awareness makes you know that everything else whether it is from others or yourself directly affects its impact on you.

    It is extremely difficult for others to approach you with disrespect when your core is radiating absolute self respect. Hence I think respect is not something you can channel toward others, rather it is something that is a by-product of how you perceive your self.

    I think it to be next to impossible for a person to offer respect to others if they do not have it for themselves. JOMO

    Off the top of my head? It means though I may disagree with you, I'm willing to listen and weigh your opinion.

    To me it means admiring someone for what they have done.

    Today I think it is changing its meaning slightly to mean manners or politeness. "You dont show X respect.". When they mean you dont show X good manners. I have to know someone before I can respect them.

    To me it means that EVERY person is equal in the eyes of God and SHOULD be treated with kindness and consideration.
