Respect is everything! |
In our world, respect goes a long way.
I’m not just talking about respect for your parents or boss, but for everything.
Respect for our environment, our bodies, our friends, strangers, life, death, gravity and most things you can think of.
It is a mutual quality and when you show respect you often get it back.
Kind of like karma but a little different I think.
I remember playing a game when I was small called Grand Theft Auto 2, still the 2-d version of it, and the motto was “Respect is Everything”.
In the game you had a character and you had to complete assignments for people and thus building up your status and respect when you completed an assignment, which gave you certain priviledges.
You could hijack and steal cars, and kill people on the street, but there were lots of gangs and groups, and if you didnt treat people with respect or stole gang member cars, every gang member would become hostile and try to kill you.
Haha, yeah its a violent game but the principle contains an amazing truth.
Like with everything, treat your body right and it will reward you with good health, treat it badly by not excercising and eating junk food, and you will get all sorts of problems!
Treat people and strangers with respect, and you might find someone being really kind to you, offering you a job or vacation, or even a friendship.
But going around and disrespecting strangers might end up in a very hostile situation that you do not want to be in!
The definition of respect is :
The acknowledgment that someone or something has value, the showing of thoughtfullness and consideration, to refrain from intruding upon or interfering with something or someone.
So many people show disrespect, especially towards nature.
A tree is something amazing, some people dont care and burn them for fun.
Hunters that go out and kill animals for fun.
If it is neccessary for survival then there is no problem, if we need wood to stay warm, or we need food to eat, or when a population of something becomes too much and it needs to be controlled thats understandable.
Even when it comes to money and business, when you look down on and disrespect the small people and oppertunities, you may never make it big. And that very same small person or deal may turn you into a multi millionaire.
Especially when it comes to social environments and groups!
This is what I love talking about:)
When related to pickup and dating, say you’re out at a club, or actually anywhere, and you see a gorgeous girl you would like to talk to, but shes in a group of friends, either all girls or all guys, or a mixture of them.
Its possible to go up to a group of 6 guys and one girl, make friends with everyone and leave with the girl.
BUT…its requires skill and knoweledge.
When approaching a girl in a group, you always acknoweledge (show respect to) the leader of the group. Usually this is a guy, and by talking to him first, it shows you are a cool person, and youre not just there to steal the girl away. If a girl is out with a group of friends, there is usually one girl in the group who is ‘the mother hen’ , who looks after all the chicks. Any guy trying to get with any of the girls will need her approval first!
Show her you are a real man, a gentleman, who isn’t there to just get some ass, because this mother hen is looking out for her friends, and is very picky, and the moment she senses any fear or desperation or neediness, you don’t stand a chance! Show her respect for being the mother hen, gain rapport with her, and she will show you your deserved respect by letting you talk to the girl you are interested in.
With a guy in the group, once you have shown respect to him, maybe even gained afriendship from him, you will find more often than not, he will actually want to hook you up with the girl in his group. He might say something like “hey…are you single? well, good news, my friend jess…that gorgeous girl there, she’s single too, let me intoduce you guys.” and then you don’t even need to do any work because the girl automatically has a high expectation of you because you are introduced to her by her friend who she trusts:)
So remember…RESPECT IS EVERYTHING!

Hey Dirk, Great post, I especially love the Karma factor and how true it is about to get respect you must beable to give respect. In the news today is O.J. Simpson 13 years ago to “the” day of his murder trial when he was found not guilty of the murders of his wife and friend, and 13 years later to the “exact” day is convicted to possibly a life sentence for a robbery conviction…? Karma? Boy that seems to really be the ultimate sign of karma, I think! Nice post…
Hey JJ:) Thanks, it does seem like karma plays a big role in life, wish more people would write about it:)
