ain't enough

this is a complain post.

there isn't enough RESPECT these days.

respect for little things, big things, old things, simple things..certain things that were meant to be respected.

i respect the mob, gangs and such for one thing..they teach you to respect the rules, the under ground laws. if you don't, you might find yourself in a whole load of crap. rules serve a purpose..no matter you don't understand or accept. the rule in the world you live in demands respect. or at least it should. nowadays, if you ain't punished for it, no one cares. even you there's punishments for breaking the rules, people still have no respect, because they don't see the point of the rules. the repect is not for the rule, or the people punishing you..it's for the order it brings. rules are to keep everyone safe from certain things..to even out everyone's power..sort of.

imagine you break a rule..a minor one. and if you were the person who is at the recieving end of the rule break. say..you cheated in a deal..earn more moolahs..and got away with it. how would you feel if you are the person who lost out in the deal? yes..it's not you. but the rules are to make everyone play in a level playing field. if everyone cheats however whatever way there is..then all hell breaks lose. soon it'll just be anarchy.

so to make sure everyone deals fairly..you to others as well as the other way round..there are rules. and most of them deserve respect..cause they bring about security, fairness and to some extend, maybe negatively, conformity.

respect for friends. and people around. people who cares, will ask you what's wrong when they know you are not. and there ain't enough respect if you do not tell them. or let them know you'll be alright because you can handle it. they respect you enough to care. do you respect them enough to let them?

maybe i'm wrong.
maybe i'm just a weird person.
too old for my age and acting too young.
