Nobody likes being dis'd, maybe unrespect will gain traction in a few years

Not respecting is what I have for everyone by default, the good people get my respect. I wish there was a common word for it.

Ah I see. I have a certain level of respect for everybody, it's more like I don't want to see them die or be unhappy, but for the really special people I have a much higher level of respect. Then it starts turning into love for that person.

I think it depends on the definition used. I just checked google, one says it's admiration, the other says it's giving "due regard", as in being concerned or having best wishes to. Do you mean you admire everybody or? I think everybody wouldn't want people to be unhappy or die. :)

I don't have admiration for a whole lot of people, but I do wish everybody well and if someone is going through something tough, I am concerned about them.

But there are some things that just annoy me, like when somebody completely shuts off and won't try to learn anything new (like technology or music). It bugs me but not a big deal, just annoying.

Ah I see, I wouldn't call that respect then. It's compassion. It's something I hope to develop in the future, if I did it right now, it'd be fake and not from the heart.

Ah, of course. That's good though, I don't want to come off as fake either. It's defininantly getting harder now than ever, but even if all the rest of the world is screwed up, your own little part of it doesn't have to be. Will it make a difference? To that one person yes. Maybe their day got a little brighter, or it took their mind off of something terrible for a few minutes.

Hmm, to me those little things that are temporary don't count. I see it's a sort of trend that people like to do to make someone's day a bit better with a little thing, it's nice and fine, but I don't feel like it will change the person in the long run, which I feel is the most significant thing.

Yeah I know what you mean. I don't buy into this stupid trendy stuff either, honestly it really doesn't mean squat. I'm just talking about being there for people to talk to, and maybe it doesn't help, but it never hurts to try.
