People act like you have to please others in order to get respect, or follow the law, or obey, or conform to what everyone else does. I don't see respect as something that is earned. I judge my respect of a person based off of my evaluation of their actions itself, and not the merit of the action. The boldness, the character, the style, the intelligence. People like Charles Manson have always been people who I have admired. They defied conventional morality. They were intelligent and in my eyes, intelligence and acting on your heart is nobel.
