Respect is one of if not the most powerful word in the dictionary. It is so easy to say you deserve respect but so hard to live up to the respect given. Everyone wants respect but very few understand how to give it back. To not return respect is to automatically not deserve respect. I can answer any world problem there could possibly be by simply applying RESPECT to the equation. It might not be the answer everyone would want to hear, but if it is applied mutually, the problem would be solved.
