In the entry "A precious Gift", I began exploration of what it means to be Respectful by taking a look at the dictionary definition which defines Respect as "to treat with propriety and consideration". Having extensively explored the meaning of propriety, let’s take a look at […]
Our Humanity
The word "Proper" as it pertains to "Respect" has one more definition that I would like to point out and explore. Proper: honest Respect and Honesty go hand in hand. Someone who is not honest does not understand the foundation of Respect and therefore misses the point of what it […]
