respect 2

Aretha made it a world wide hit!

Both gave us a song that was so full of hope that we

could all possibly love our fellow human being.

isn't it better to not fight, start a war, criticize a

person, beat them down, ignore, tread over.

we are all surplus to requirements on this planet so

let's treat others with a respect we might be

afforded ourselves. Why be negative when positive

feels better both ways.

But positive only so far.

living in Holland these past 20 years, it started with

the free loving parents of the 70's/80's letting their

children do what they want, running around

whatever and never a bad word to them.

20 years later, new generation children being taught

nothing about politeness, please, thank you..

no basics being taught anymore, the kids rebel

against anything, hey, new protest lets go cause

trouble...

I was taught right  and wrong from an early age,

wrong then punishment for me. An earlier

generation I accept but wouldn't it might still work

in todays society when a please and thank you are

the currency of the decent.

I had in my job 3 people leave without notice in one

week. Gone, good luck, forgotten but they were mid

20's so my whole point is..where is the respect?

two were on the same day scheduled. now if

grownups cans do it what fucking hope can we have

in the future.

no notice, no warning, no RESPECT!!
