Where the bleep did respect go?

Where the bleep did respect go?

      Does anyone remember respect and what it used to stand for? I guess giving respect is the new target for people who don’t have a clue. It’s obvious that self-respect has passed many by. Does it stem from there? If respecting oneself means you understand that morals and scruples and ethics are a good trait, many missed this boat. Is it the way we are taught now, that everyone gets respect without learning that boundaries are lines that shouldn’t be crossed. Maybe the confusion lies within the disrespect. This isn’t how you get respect though. I would love to understand this new way of thinking. For I have not found any respect only from the elderly. Could it stem from the medications that so many are on now?  The focus medication kids are passed out now more than candy on Halloween. This society I walk in does make me wonder how many rose colored glasses parents wear. Yes most children are good, there is many though are one step from being feral. Maybe turning up the sarcasm on these wonders of the future may be the slap in the head they need. Until then I will keep respecting and taken the crap that comes along with this.
