Respect

                 Respect is something that is received only when it is given. When we hear word "respect" we think of respecting people but that's not it. According to me, Respect is given to anything which serves a purpose or fulfils any need, which can be emotional need or materialistic need or anything in general.

Just to create understanding regarding this let me give you Four different examples:

1) If someone earns his living from money that could be investor or financer. He/She is earning because that person values money and that's why that person is able to make more and more of it, In other words, He/She respect it. If he/she takes it for granted they will loose it eventually sooner or later as such person will spend it on things he/she don't need.

2) The thirsty or hungry or poor will respect food more than ones having dinner in restaurants as some of them waste food and beverages by leaving it in plate or cups just because either they are full or they don't like it. Such people have money and goes to restaurants but they don't respect food and beverages. Instead of ordering part by part they place orders as if they have not eaten since birth but that's not the case with poor as they will eat anything given to them. If not, instead of wasting or throwing it away, they will give it to someone else who will eat it.

3) We are so hooked on to junk food we forget health is true wealth and we don't respect it by consuming "junk" food and torturing ourselves until we face serious health issues. Then we realize true treasure we had, Show some respect and care to your own body if not other. Eat healthy.

4) Last example is of parents. Those who don't respect their parents come to realize true value of parents either when they loose their parents which could be death or separation or when their own children doesn't respect them.

It all comes down to respect. If we respect things and people they will respect us and will remain in our life as long as we need them but, if we take them for granted either we will loose it or it will distance itself from us and then we will realize its true value as well as of respecting it when we had it.

So respect everything you have Health, Family, Friends, Food, Clothes, Shelter what ever it may be. Its not shame to tell them how grateful you are to have what you have. So Respect.
