Calando - Decreasing Rispetto - Respect
*Just felt like going all Italian, to sound as if I'm well verse in language, but in actual fact, I'm just an empty nutshell......
Respect is such an important element in life. It's one aspect you should never leave home without. Its the only way you can survive and live properly in this society, without conflicts. It is the mutual respect we should each have for one another, regardless of age or standing. The younger ones should, or should I say must, treat the elders with respect. The older ones should also do so vice versa.
Treat others the way you want to be treated.
That’s one of the really basic rules to lead a good and well
behaved life.
You treat people with respect and they will respect you back.
But there's always another side to this. The darker side, which could eventually get darker. You can treat people with respect, give them your best interest, be well mannered towards them, hoping they will treat you the same. I've come to realised that it does not always work that way. For some people, no matter how well you treat them, they view you as useless toys in society, with no importance in their life. They kick and stamp on you, making you more depressed and lower than you already are. Your well mannered words and behaviour are only to be fallen on the deafness and blindness of their unloving souls. And worst of all, regardless of how bad they have treated me, I still cannot bring myself to treat them the same way they have done to me. I feel like bringing my hands across their faces and scream at them to treat people with respect! I don't care if you hate me or give me treatment lower than those of the untouchable caste in society, but at least treat our elders with respect!
So here I am questioning myself, am I a fool? To be mistreated by those younger souls, and not doing anything about it? Maybe I am, just a fool who is a mere stepping stone for people.
Rispetto...
A simple word, yet it means so much...
With enough power to break relationships and turn my world into a broken one...
