What’s your favorite word?
My favorite word is few people have anymore. It’s respect. I like the word respect but I also like what it stands for.
Valuing others – valuing people’s feelings, boundaries, and perspectives. I have had these 3 things taken away in my life and honestly I don’t want other people to feel the pain that comes from this.
Self-respect – I hold myself to the standard with dignity and self-worth. I know I deserve. Everyone is worthy of dignity and self-worth with no excuses.
I believe in respect as integrity in action. Like shaking hands you show you’re present, acknowledging the other person by looking them in the eye. And doing what you said you were going to do shows your reliability and accountability.
It is honoring your word and showing up.
We have lost respect for each other, because of our breakdown in communication. Because of cell phones we cannot have a conversation without burying our heads in our phones.We talk at each other instead of talking with each other. Along with the erosion of accountability. And we have a us vs them mentality.
It’s is because of lack of respect we lost a great man yesterday. Charlie Kirk had respect for everyone. And was trying to bridge the gap between a breakdown in communication. He spread love and respect to everyone he met, yet because of this he lost his life. It is such a tragedy. And it solved absolutely nothing.
