R-e-s-p-e-c-t find out what it means to me

As I read a friends blog, i was struck by this thought, no I don't think it is new, or even unusual to express, but here it is...

Some People Suck! I am not talking about people in general, though they can, but specific people who for one reason or another take it upon themselves to make another person feel bad. Often out of selfish reasons. I know I have often done this myself, but I don't excuse it in myself, it is reprehensible. I also hate it in others when i see it. Why does it happen, why do I feel free to treat someone else with a lot less than the respect I want from them? I guess the answer is that I am so focused on my own issues and daily whatever that I don't care in that moment, and that is truly sad.

I hereby declare that i will treat others as i wish to be treated (where have I heard that before?)...unless I get annoyed, then all bets are off.
