You Have To Earn It

Some teachers might thing my attitude is bad, but I mean I tired. Some might argue that my behavior is not exemplary, but I try my hardest to be the best human being that I can and to always go for justice. I don't care what have to do to achieve this, and I don't care who likes it or who doesn't.

I've been trying to please the world for the last 5 years of my life, I simply can't do it anymore. I'm human I get annoyed too, specially by those people that are so fastidious. Yes, those people make me mad. Even more annoying are those who demand to be venerated. The thing is that you just can't demand respect, just like you can't demand love. You must earn it.

People can't expect to be respected, loved, and looked up to simply because they have a title. That's not how it works. Even in a hierarchy, the person at the very top isn't always respected by others. People respect those who give respect, love those who give love, and look up to those that are worth looking up to. It's not a matter of idealizing a person. No on is perfect we all know that. Looking up to someone is a matter of looking at a person and seen that they have qualities worthy of admiration. Qualities like humility, patience, understanding, among many more.

We should all learn to earn the respect and love of others, instead of demanding these from them. Because when we demand it, we will only get the complete opposite.
