Respect:  Friends; one of the most important things in life is to learn to respect others and their property...   This one of those Golden rules in life....  Treat others as you would like to be treated...

Life  comes down to being  without respect, then  no one has any thing, it would be the law of the jungle...  The biggest gorilla takes what he wants, when he wants, and from whom he wants....   That includes sex, food, positions, any other conceivable thing... Not a pretty picture folks....

So why do we often teach and allow our children to disrespectful???

How is this done, well it starts with the some times over reaction of the parents...  Can be grandparents, relatives, neighbors, or freinds...   It starts with stuff....  What kind of stuff, well there are baby super stores now, where people purchase way too many things for the sweet child.... First the child does not know what kind of things it is  sleeping in, or the type of special cloths and toys...  {Most of the toys are either too convoluted or difficult that the baby would just as soon play with the box it came in as the toy...} 

 So the young child starts this life with more is better, and not realizing what the value of anything is...  There is no wonder that many of  the youth destroy not only their things, but any and everyone Else's also...   There is not any bases for respect of property because it comes easy....  So it is easy come easy go, and who cares??

Respect requires some discernment as to the value of things...  The recognition and knowledge of the worth of the property of others....  Also that everything is not there just for you...  Some people think that everyone owes them something, and except for respect I do not know of anything anyone owes me....  This is one of the key problems in the society today...  People do not know how to respect the rights and property of others....

The stuff is only the tip of this iceberg....  We all have stuff...  Most of which we could and should do without...  The merchants, and sales people do not want to hear this but it is a simple fact....    What kind of stuff, I will let you think about, but I am sure you will come up with several items...  The key here is to balance our lives....   {Key word balance}   This goes for our debt(s), our family, our commitments, our employment, our actives, and of course our religious life....  

This is not to say that I am exempt, certainly not....  I am among the chiefest of sinners...  So this is not a rock throwing party, by any means...  It is more a wake up call...    A time to reassess our lives and stop, look and listen to what is happening....   Lets start by showing some respect to others...  If you are lost or confused; then we need to talk...   

Respect starts in childhood, and we need to teach and help our children to come to know and respect the rights and property of others...  Then we will be on a better path way to achieving our goals in life... Doing it on our own merits and not on the back of others...  We will all come to the realization that respect will always lead to a better quality of life for everyone concerned...   Respect is a key factor in life folks...

Got to go for now.....  Remember respect and a balanced life will always win over greed and corruption.......  He who has the most toys does not win anything, except heart ache and grief...   Too many possessions will cause one to spend most of their time watching out for who is going to steal or take their stuff....  Where are you friend???
