One of the best moments spent talking with friends are the thoughts that deep conversation provoke. Respect is a lost art, or it has never been an art that has been considered relevant. This action is valued in my household as I believe while we respect one another, all else will fall into place: love, compassion, tolerance, forgiveness, humility, joy, empathy. I believe that respect plays hand in hand with these other actions and feelings. I feel that those who show respect from deep within their being are the ones who know true happiness; the ones who will go far on their life’s journey. This thought is one that presents itself at crucial moments of my life. It is a thought that I frequently need to remember; an effort that I continually need to work on and put forth.
