Respect in our modern world

Respect?  A word that was very well known by our ancestors, not even known, but it was practiced a lot by them in their time unlike us who don’t recognize the importance of this huge word.

In the old era, a son did’nt listen music in front of his elders especially parents, but in present we do. In the old era, a son did’nt even dare to smoke in front of his parents but in present we do. In the old era, a child did’nt use abusive language in front of their parents, but in present we do. In the old era, not even a single old age house was established, but in present they do, in fact in every town there is a one.

“If we lose love and self respect for each other, this is how we finally die”--Maya Angelou

If we turn our minds towards this totally ignored issue of the present day world that why all the above mentioned things are happening? The answer of this question is just a single word ‘Respect’. If a child is educated but is missing respect, there is no use of such education.  A child behaves the way according to the environment in which they are kept in. No matter how greater or influential the environment is, if it’s missing respect, there is totally no use of it. The child is not in safe hands and they will be a huge threat to their related circle in the future. A child outputs the thing which they have been taught, or the thing they have watched in their surrounding, and if the output is not good that means the fault is ours, we are the one responsible for them.

          Today’s child listens music in front of his elders with volume’s up, they dance, they watch uncensored movies. This all happens because of our ignorance and extra love that destroys a child, and according to me this is the biggest reason. The word ‘Respect’. It should be stopped, or else this all will lead us to fall.

“I'm not concerned with your liking or disliking me... All I ask is that you respect me as a human being—Jackie Robinson”

It is our great responsibility to bring up a child. They have got a brand new hard-disk in the form of their brains. They will operate with the programs which are installed in them. Respect can not be taught or  given to a child unless they witness give and take of respect by there own. Do your best, input them with the best you have, give them time, give them respect, give them importance, the output will be fruitful for you as well as for your related circle and obviously to your respected country.
