People have lost the ability to respect. They've lost the CONCEPT of respect.
Respecting others means not to judge, insult, offend, abuse or ignore/neglect other people, regardless of age, race, gender or religion/non-religion. I always thought it was just ignorance and therefore let it slide, but it's not ignorance. It's lack of respect.
Kids swear and batter their parents because they have no respect. Parents allow this because they have no self-respect.
When my kids backchat me, I tell them to be quiet and not to backchat simply because I'M YOUR MUM. You DO NOT disrespect me by questioning me, you DO NOT disrespect me by ignoring me.
You do not use my God's name in vain.
I'm seriously considering using the culprit's names as curses. Not that they've done anything to me or that I even know them personally. Just to give them some of their own medicine. It's tiring, it's infuriating, and what did God ever do to you?! Oh you don't believe in God? Then what DID I EVER DO TO YOU for you to insult the ONE THING that I have made the center of my universe?
People.
Just. Ugh.
