******************************
Living in a society that follows the standard, class and status of an individual, is sometimes exhausting.
When we are young, our parents always remind us to respect everyone especially the elder. As a sign of respect we talked to them politely using "po" and "opo". We follow their order without complaining. Once we neglect it, a punishment will be follow. As we grow older, our parents reminder to respect everyone is already marked in our mind. Wherever we go, we always practiced it.
But did you ever question yourself, is everyone deserve to be respected?
Let me give you a scenario...
You bumped into someone on your way to work, you are both on the ground. When you look at that person, you realize that the person you bumped with is your boss. You are extremely nervous of what happened, and you thought your might be fired because of it. Suddenly your boss speak and said that its fine. He asked you too if you are okay and helped you to get up. He smiled at you after he left.
Is your boss deserve to be respected?
For me, Yes. He's action tells us that he is a kind hearted and a humble person whatever his status is.
A simple act of kindness deserve to be respected. Big or small.
Let's have another scenario...
You bumped into someone on your way to work, you are both on the ground. When you look at that person, you realize that the person you bumped with is your boss. Your boss didn't know that you work on his company, upon bumping to him, he started to cursed at you. Saying harsh words and belittling you. You keep on apologizing while bowing your head, but still your boss continued to cursed at you. You end up crying and continue apologizing, but still your boss keep on saying fouled words and belittling you. He left with a frown on his face and left you on the ground crying.
Is your boss deserve to be respected?
For me, No. He's action tells us that he is an arrogant person. A person who thinks highly of himself. And not considerate of others feelings.
An act of pompous can lead to disrespecting from another.
Let's all be honest, there comes a point in our life the we forget to respect someone, not because we simply hate him, but because of his action. Some people gives us reason not to respect them.
Respect sometimes should not easily give to anyone, sometimes they need to earn it.
So if you want to be respected, you must earn it. Prove that you deserve it.

Yes, if you want to be respected then earn it. People must know how to value the respect given by other people. You can't earn respect easily. It is like what you give is what you get.
