It is rightly said, we can choose our friends but, not our relatives! Sometimes, this saying feels right in some situation. For example : when a overbearing sarcastic aunty is breathing down your neck! When a uncle is boasting about his (idiotic and silly) son's prowess! when a doooooor ki rishtedar wants to know when ur getting married or how much are u earning.... and so on...
Am sure, all of us must have faced this question, as quoted in the title, in our lives atleast once. what makes us to respect others? is it our "sanskar" or is it because we "want" to do it? because we are genetically binded to do it or because the person's action has influenced us positively?
In case, you are getting my drift, kindly read further or else, u are most welcome to return back to facebook... :)
My personal belief is that if one is "obliged" to respect a person, then this obligation will be superficial and temporary, just brimming on the surface. However, when the person conducts himself in such a manner which befits his stature, role and position in the relationship, then the respect is due to the virtue/actions of the individual. Whats the point in abusing a person underneath ur breath and faking a smile on his face?
Just wanted to keep this blog brief and crisp.. do feel free to drop in ur comments and views on the topic.. would love to hear more views on this topic!
