noiz viol8ion blog #748 – Treat People With Respect

When I talk to people I want them to feel like they are respected. To me I define respect as containing multiple qualities. The first quality in respect is honor. Honor is to recognize the history of someone. Unless you know what someone has been through it is impossible to respect them. The next quality is to have empathy. To know where people are currently and help them get to where they want to go. Respect is seeing people for who they are and not talking down to them.
