There is no relationship without respect

The dictionary meaning of respect is ‘to treat with high value’. There may be differences in the degree of respect, but basically, no relationship can be established without respect. In particular, as the relationship deepens, respect for each other has the power to maintain them like universal gravitation. Then we have to think about how to properly respect the other person and how much respect is needed in any relationship.

The beginning of respect is to lower me according to the dictionary. I have to lower myself so that the other person goes up. To truly respect someone, you need to know what that person values. To empathize with and acknowledge it together is to treat it preciously. Most people instinctively value maintaining their self-esteem, so even if you don’t show disrespect, you can show a fair amount of respect. However, we often unconsciously ignore others. Especially when it comes to close relationships. Because of the thought that you will understand this much for granted, you ignore people close to you even though you did not intend it at all. In a way, it was not ignorance but ‘unconsciousness’, but from the perspective of the person who accepts it, there is virtually no difference. That is why it is said that the closer you are, the more you should pay attention. When unconsciousness turns into disregard, respect disappears without our knowledge and relationships are broken.

So, habits are important. The habit of respecting the other person has a higher value in our lives than any other habit. Habits are created through training. In my case, when I eat at a restaurant, I am the customer, but I always say in a loud voice, “I ate well.” I always say thank you when I pay any money and receive a service. There are cases like that. I actually went to a restaurant and there was a case where the waiter wasn’t friendly. When we had all the food served to our table, I greeted them with a “thank you.” An acquaintance who went with me was completely unkind, but he scolded me and said, “What are you thankful for?” But I thought differently. At least if I show respect to the other person first, there is a possibility that the person’s attitude will change. If the other person is unkind and responds the same to me, the possibility of improving the relationship evaporates.

In fact, I wasn’t originally a person who expressed gratitude a lot. However, at some point, he realized the importance of human relationships and set the core as respect. Since I always express my respect for the other person, it naturally became a habit, and as mentioned earlier, that habit had a better influence on people close to me. I really often express gratitude to my family, parents, and co-workers. This not only strengthens the relationship, but enriches it emotionally. Isn’t it obvious? At the center of my relationships is myself, not others. If that network is firmly connected by the invisible power of trust, who will be the biggest beneficiary of it? it’s me so always say There is no relationship without respect.
