respect and gravitas

How do we define the word "respect"? Dictionary.com defines respect as esteem for or a sense of the worth or excellence of a person, a personal quality or ability, or something considered as a manifestation of a personal quality or ability. Well,i don't really care much bout the definition. All i care bout today is "why do we respect someone?"

I'm not really sure on this subject but is respect something that we need to acquire or we are just born to be respected? In my opinion,respect is something that we need to gain and acquire throughout our life. It's not something that we simply give out of sympathy or "giving face" to that he or she. First of all,what's my point in writing this? i'm writing this to wake some guys up from their long dream and pull them out from the abyss.. those guys really deserves my sympathy..they think that they are my seniors or just because they are older,then i need to give them my respect.. oh crap! i'm purely giving way to their egoism and "give face" as they can't accept the fact that they don't have the gravitas and they are not worth respecting. Pathetic,they think i'm respecting them..lol!! anyway,just let them be..

In my own personal opinion,i only give respect to those who are worthy of it. Why go respecting some elderly hacks while they are doing acts which i define as unreasonable,despicable,hypocritical and can easily be term as atrocity. If we respect this kind of people who don't practice what they preach,then..soon before long,we are sure to be like them. So? prevention is better than cure.learn from their dumb mistakes,that's the only part which they are good for..our scape goats to see the effect of those despicable doings. Hereby i urge everyone to try to be respectable and not just gaining respect from seniority or some cheating methods..lol!! cheating methods..zzz..

Robert Frost once said.. "Try not to become a man of success but rather a man of value". Well,there is some connection between value and respect.. Anyway,this quote did really wake me from my long nap,kicks my ass out from the abysmal dream which leads nowhere. Last but no least, gain respect from your doings and deeds as this "respect" is worth a gold compare to the respect gained from "atrocious stuffs" which worth no less than shit.

*This is the important part. Don't think that you're a royal blood or someone who teaches or some parents or some elderly man makes you worth respecting. I give in to you because i respect myself as a sane being who lives with dignity and human morale.
