R-E-S-P-E-C-T

This is a very simple word. It is defined 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. Do people in our society have this anymore. Do we hold ourselves or others to a sense of worth or excellence. People talk about doing drugs and drinking alcohol and destroying their bodies as a victimless crime. Do these people though even care about themselves, and if they don't, can they have a sense of worth for others. Do people hold their authority figures in higher esteem who have been placed over them. People talk about how they hate a person or how they are terrible at what they do. Even though it may be true, shouldn't we hold these people who have worked hard to get where they were to a higher level. I'm sure many people would not want someone degrading them and trying to point out every flaw that they have. Should we wish for people to lose their job just because they don't do everything to our liking. When did this world become all about us. Our society is so self-centered that people are thinking that the world really does revolve around them. I hate to break it to these people, but it doesn't. Maybe if we just respect others and give people a sense of worth, more can be accomplished without the pettiness and trying to just get a leg up for the sake of getting a leg up.

On a lighter note, the Yankees are 1-1 after the first two games of the season. I'm so happy baseball season is underway since it pretty much signals the start of spring and nice weather. My only note to people is to remember that baseball is just that, baseball. Its just a game and honestly doesn't matter that much in the big scheme of things and just because someone has a bad day, there is no need to overreact. This is also a pretty good mantra for life. Grades are just grades, money is just money. There is no need to overreact to the little things and save it for the real tragedies. The only things that really matter in life are God and others. So until it involves that directly, its not worth the anger.

Until later,
