Quotes about Respect
Wednesday, May 22
Respect is the feeling of reverence or esteem that you bear for someone. People who are worthy of our respect, command respect and never demand it. One should always respect our elders and seniors and treat them with courtesy. The bible says, “Do unto others as you want others to do unto you.” If you respect your elders, your juniors will surely respect you. What goes around comes around. Respect can be the feeling of esteem for any person or entity such as culture, traditions etc. Respect encompasses all the actions and conduct that represent that esteem. All of us yearn for respect. We all strive for a clean reputation in the society and respect from subordinates, juniors and younger ones. Respect should not be confused with tolerance since it is a negative feeling which is treated with contempt that is opposite of respect. In the words of C.S. Lewis, “Literature adds to reality, it does not simply describe it. It enriches the necessary competencies that daily life requires and provides; and in this respect, it irrigates the deserts that our lives have already become.”
