Restrospecting Respect...

Respect never comes with age, relationship, professional expertise or financial status…it depends on one’s benevolence, wisdom and contribution towards art, nature, country and humanity.Why is it that we have to touch feet or show pretentious respect to all the elders we meet? Why do we have to follow all the words said by sages and those so-called 'gurus' who are later charged with adultery or some molestation cases? Or why are we asked to respect people just because they are our aunts or uncles, or some aged relatives, who knows nothing of relationships?

I beg to differ from all these cliched concept of respect! On retrospecting on respect i came to my individual conclusion that i would not waste or belittle this very word by showing respect to all those who never deserves it, but just craves for it with all the wrong intentions. Respect is a feeling which should be preserved for people who are blessed with the power of pure love, wisdom, benevolence, creation and sacrifice! No one else should dare to achieve it!
