I agree. It takes truly a lot for me to feel more than a slight dislike of someone I don't respect, usually I just ignore people I can't find common ground with (IRL, that is
). I've come to the conclusion that the opinions of a person I can't respect, should be of no consequence to me, so why bother?Quote:I don't expect people to show respect to me either. If they do, then that's good. And if they don't, no problem.
Which makes me wonder, what kind of person demands respect and out of what reasons? As I earlier stated, I give all fellow humans the respect they deserve, since I won't put myself higher as a person, and I hope that other people can treat me with the same respect. But to be respected because of anything else and demand it.. Now that I don't understand.
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
