Respect isn't really a feeling I have normally, I'm not sure I really understand it. I appreciate people, I think people are cool, I think what people do is wonderful, but I haven't encountered respect much outside of, say, hierarchical relationships (where parents demand respect just by virtue of being a parent, for example, or entitled old white men demand respect as they go about being assholes, or authoritarians expecting you to 'respect the law').

Other than that it's kind of like a feeling I read about in books.

I'd be interested to hear what people think about respect and how they might have encountered it outside of weird hierarchical situations.

me thinking: respect unconditional as synonymous to awareness; a trust at-play which is all our relations. one forgoing, refusing, neglecting or burning-out-on respection, loses sight of this abounding bio-psychic uniquity; thwey reactionarily resorts to some categorical idea for authorization Self, Law, Dollars, Judgement, Wilderness, whatever. : thus we, humans have come to be quite-so at-odds within our habitat; dispositioned by the invasive Cult of Civitas' implemented structures. and the potency of Trust between-us is customarily subjugated to some spooky, objectified non-party. so party on. mucho respect
