Respect

Do you think you are being respectful to the others?

Many people say,

"I am who I am. I don't need to bother about how others think."

Yeah. That's the phrase that I used to tell my friends who faced problem.

I can say that the phrase can be so brilliant, but so malignant.

Some think that "Yeah.. I am right. I am so right" And that's is why it all resulted to the tendency of controlling the people around them. They always think that whatever they say is right. If anyone try to oppose them, they will be offended. Everyone has their own way of living. No one should enslave themselves! So, what I am trying to say here is, let the others do whatever they want to. The more you stop them, the worse the problem can be.

Yesterday, one of my friends phoned me. She requested for my advice on the problems that she was facing. Her close friend, M, who she treats like sister, are so blindly in love that M started to be ignorant towards her. Even though M knows that the "he" is a playboy, she still makes herself drown into the love sea. The friend of mine wanted to stop M but I advised her to not. Why? Again, it's all about respect. Since she has already made a decision, let her be what she wants. Even if the decision that she has made might bring her into trouble, let the trouble be part of the growing process in life.

Be respectful to the people around you.

Respect their choice, respect who they are.
