to respect or not to respect (not a religious topic)

[SmartDessa]

do you think that this world can become a better place if everybody respects each other?

or do you think that this world cannot survive if we do not have disrespect?

do you think it's possible to have a world of people who respect each other?

is respect an illusion?

[hisagi123]

there are people worth respecting and those who are not. period

[hisagi123]

wrong tread

[Totnak]

respect is relative......

some maybe respectful of others' belief BUT they respect their faith enough that they see it just to woo others into their fold at the expense of maligning others' beliefs......

[OrionPax]

Respect begets respect

[ImEsther18]

Respect cannot be learned purchased or acquired

it can only be earned.

it's not the question of how to get respect,

this is a question whether everyone should pay due respect, or not.

okay, I respect what you have clarified.

Respect cannot be learned or acquired - it can only be earned as it says in my flowery video. But that doesnt mean the "virtue of respect" cannot be learned.

Each person is unique, unrepeatable, and has inherent dignity from God. Further, each person has a unique role in God’s plan. Therefore, each person is to be shown respect, even if the individual is impaired in some way. Having respect toward another person means that we show him honor and esteem because he is a child of God who deserves consideration and regard.

Cathechism:

“Human life is sacred because from its beginning it involves the creative action of God and it remains in a special relationship with the Creator, Who is its sole end” (CCC 2258). “Human life must be respected and protected absolutely from the moment of conception” (CCC 1814).

“Respect for life” is directly related to “respect for the dignity of persons” (CCC 2259, 2284). “The dignity of man rests above all on the fact that he is called to communion with God…If man exists, it is because God has created him through love, and through love continues to hold him in existence. He cannot live according to truth unless he freely acknowledges that love and entrusts himself to his Creator” (CCC 27).

of course each person should be respected, regardless of their gender, religion or ethnicity.


but beliefs, not necessarily. only humane beliefs deserve respect.

I prefer to answer sincere and honest questions only.

Inspite of that hilarious tone, I think that is a serious and valid question.

I'm not going to continue to argue with this person, I think there is no reasoning in him.

[SmartDessa]

I'm not going to continue to argue with this person, I think there is no reasoning in him.

Then please answer the question knowing that it is asked sincerely by me.

That's your call.
