Respect
Not wanting to open another can of worms, but this was the best definition of this I've read. (Thanks, to Hoop and his Grandpa!)
"You should treat every man you encounter with respect, but treating a man with respect and respecting a man are two different things. The first is given, the second must be earned."

i almost agree. my only difference is, ill treat someone with respect, until they dont do the same to me. anyone who doesnt treat you with respect, or show you common courtesy, like youve shown them. doesnt deserve it back.

I think that is an excellent definition.
Everyone starts out on an equal footing with me. What happens after that is up to them.
I try to give them a reason to remember our meeting as a good one. I'm not always successful, but I try.

Been taught that all my life. Goes along with my Father raised me to be a man. Respect gets you respect. Disrespect can get you attention. The thing I have learned is that it is easy to respect someone for what and who they are while not agreeing with what they do.
