Free Write:Respectfulness

To me respectfulness means to treat others the way you would want to be treated. Now that is the golden rule , but I still thinks it can be used as the rule of respectfulness. Also I always say that if you wouldn't treat your mother the same way, then you don't need to treat others that way.  In order to receive respect, you have to give out respect. Giving out respect is not just about saying that you will do it, but acting upon it. You can easily say, well I am going to respect this person. That is one of the easiest things you can do, but then comes the hard part. Which is doing it. In others words, word sound isn't really power if you don't act upon what you say. So when you wonder why someone is treating you without respect then, you probably didn't respect someone else.
