the dimensions of respect..

'respect' the word in itself has an 'honorary feel to it...
so when i use the word 'honorary' i am immediately reminded of all those addressing where individuals are as stated as "honorary" ...
In a social event ppl stand up or clap to reciprocate the word...
So now does that mean tht they are 'respected' too..because most of them are achievers...
Are achiever's entitled to such a term for their contribution and if yes then what does one has to justify on the fact of a simple 'child' demanding in an unruly manner,and he's said to be disrespecting the elder or the person who's been a victim of their' sugar cube tantrums...'

wasnt it the 'love' with which one had to earn 'respect'..
didnt god bless parents with expensive porcelain to which they could mould and create beautiful shapes..
and even if the shape doesnt look tht pretty ,dont they just realise tht they are the ones who have created this piece..
more than often 'not'...
and rather than enduring their creation they go on to sulk ,about how 'not nice' their pot is...and how the other pots are so pretty....and one can even store water in them.....the other pots are winners...cuz they are blessed with beauty as well as utility....
what the parents forget is if their pot is such..it was them who lack, in their' creativity'...

how do they expect the porcelain pot like child to accept /respect them ..when the love with which the they were to be moulded itself was coarse...
my repeated comparison of a child to porcelain clay stands because...of the fact the its porcelain tht is exclusive,gentle,beautiful & a piece of reflection of imprint of every hand tht has touched its surface..

and with this example i picture every single preacher and learner equation...a student teacher,employee- employer,husband wife and so on...

the term respect comes only after a bond has been nourished with compassion..
one can always be subjective...isnt it why the whole world wants to know what lies within or ahead whether its in form of astrology or sun sign or even taking up funny quizzes in magazines...

and when the shape of your porcelain(relation) is not as u had desired...u feel failed...
and rejection and decline of your own creation makes you feel even more worthless...if u r a parent u fell tht u could not do well with the upbringing of ur child, a boss was not competent enough for his subordinate,,and husband and wife feel undesired..
whatever the case is the pain is mutual...
after all all we cant defy Newton with his equal and opposite law...can we..!!!

So why dont i feel tht my porcelain pot is rather "unique" than " distorted"...and with this belief their might just be an observer who would glance at it and comment -----"is tht the most cutest lill pot ,,,right thr in the corner with a star like glaze to it"...
and thts exactly the moment your very own porcelain pot would look back and tell u--"tht its your care and affection tht i shine like a star"


" respect " is the emotion you feel.. and its eternal...no honorary word or statement can ever come even close even when uproared by millions...
