The word Respect has many dimensionalities in today’s world… It perceives different meaning for different individuals and the degree to which they value also varies from person to person. But of-course the underlining fact still holds to be the universal truth that respect in todays is a key factor for one’s happiness and degree of self-esteem.
Respect unlike power and wealth can’t be forcefully acquired or stolen. It’s perhaps the only thing that anyone can earn from their good deeds. By “any” really means “any one”… You don’t literally need to be wealthy or a Hot-shot, it’s something one earns by imprinting their impression on others.
There are various levels of respect. A child’s respect for its elders, a businessman’s or organization’s respect for its customer, respect in the society, and ever between two individuals who may be friends, partners, or may whatever relation be it… but it’s always a binary relationship. We adore our celebrities and sports stars and may be for some Politicians, it all depends on their deeds that leave an impression on us which culminates the sense of respect.
I was rather taken back from the fact comparing the sense of this term in the history and today’s world. All these thoughts started budding within me when I was watching some interview rounds of Roadies 6.0. It’s either the term respect that might have changed or associated with fame in today’s youth, or the mental persona of the youths is getting misleading for earning respect. You must have seen contestants stating this term “I can do anything to become a Roadie..Why?? I want to earn Respect and Fame to prove myself!!” What are you proving by doing random tasks!!! Hello wake up! If you have so much to prove and bubbling with energy why you don’t see today’s society which is suffering from numerous threats like corruption, poverty, unemployment, and the list can go on and on. Youth bubbling with such energy are required are required in today’s youth politics where one people like Rahul Gandhi, Sachin Pilot have at least taken a step for a positive change for the India of tomorrow. I’m not only enforcing on Politics… social service can be on any platform. There is immense opportunity to prove one’s self in whatever profession someone is. All it takes to strive for becoming the best along with how you have influenced others, from your persona. Being successful alone isn’t sufficient at all. If you are not a kind and fair with people you are dealing with, then you can’t earn Respect no wonder even if you become the President also.
Almost whatever publicity stunts we are seeing on the day to day life…may that Rakhee Sawant (It requires a full topic to describe her madness!!!) or and holy baba trying to grab attention are all examples of how respect in today’s world getting misleading with fame..
But even today as I mentioned earlier the Universal fact remains the same. Respect can be earned by giving respect first or making oneself respectable…that is by doing something which benefits others. “So Give Respect and u will be Respected”.
