OMOSOHWOFA CASEYRespect when earned, should be protected because when lost, it would be hard to recover it. When one trusts and relies on you so much and you take it for granted, the day such a person would take a decision to disrespect you, forget it, you are a goner
About This Quote
Every time you take a decision to disrespect someone, you are taking a huge risk. You are risking your life, your reputation and your livelihood. The reason for this risk is because your trust was only based on the fact that this person has never given you any reason to not trust them. However, when he takes a decision to disrespect you, you are in the same boat as him.
You are dealing with the same person. The only difference between you is that he took it for granted while you did not. And when he does decide to disrespect you, it will be hard for him to recover from it.
It could cost him his job or his social status because of the people who will likely want to take revenge on him. Once when I was in high school I had an experience when I was in need of respect from my class mates and I also lost my respect from two of my teachers after they were found cheating in an exam and no one would listen to me if I had raised the issue with them in time.
