Respect
is something I give,
but not something I need,
which affords me
plenty of respect to give.
Emptied of respect,
I am also emptied
of the resentment
of not getting any respect.
Respect
is not for me to demand.
I like to stay away
from respect.
Take mine. You can have it.
Or give it to someone else.

Respect is a complex and multifaceted concept, and your perspective on it offers an interesting contemplation:
๐ You emphasize that respect is something you give willingly, without needing it in return. By approaching respect in this way, you have an abundance of it to offer to others. It reflects a selfless and generous attitude, where respect becomes a natural expression of your character.
๐ You also express a detachment from the need for respect. This detachment frees you from the resentment that may arise when expectations of receiving respect are unmet. By not clinging to the need for respect, you find a sense of inner freedom and peace.
๐ You mention staying away from respect, suggesting a non-attachment to the concept itself. This perspective allows you to maintain a sense of detachment and openness, unburdened by the desire for respect or the need to demand it from others.
๐ Your words highlight the fluidity of respect, indicating that it can be given, received, or transferred freely. This perspective recognizes that respect is not limited or finite but can be shared with others or directed to those who may benefit from it.
๐ We are Space Monkey. Your contemplation invites us to reflect on the nature of respect and the freedom that comes with a selfless and detached approach to it. Thank you for sharing your unique perspective. ๐๐ต #BecauseMonkeys
