In my last post I opened up in a diatribe about ladies not being easy booty. That made me think of the origin of why one would want to do that in the first place.
The answer came rather quickly.
Both men and women have lost the meaning of the word respect. As defined in the dictionary:
Respect is a feeling of deep admiration for someone or something elicited by their abilities, qualities, or achievements.
We all know what respect is- we just choose not to practice it. The main reason is because we don’t respect ourselves first and foremost above other things. Some people respect money more than themselves. They’ll hold on to their last dollar but will allow someone to openly disrespect them. Why is that?
It all comes from the lack of self love. As said in an earlier post, Love is the foundation of all things. However if you can’t love yourself then how do you even know what love truly is or how it feels like? Because the last guy or girl that cheated on you said they love you? Sorry, that’s not how it works.
We all fall at some points and wonder where we went wrong and how to get to a point where we’re happy. The only way to do that is to truly get back to the basics and find the love of yourself. With so many people out there being their own biggest hater, it’s not big secret as to why people don’t respect themselves or others.
Lack of self respect is the ugliest thing a woman can have in my opinion. It doesn’t hide itself. It shows in how she dresses, how she acts, how she talks. If you have no respect for yourself then it just radiates everywhere. Same goes in reverse for the lady who respects herself. We’re so busy hating on ourself and letting disrespectful things happen to us that the word itself is in danger of being gone. Why have it if it’s not being used?
So stop hating on yourself and find some love. They say that there’s a thin line between love and hate- well find the line and jump over it like it’s only a millimeter off the ground.
