Hello & where is the respect?

The purpose of this blog is to share with others my thoughts, feelings & perspective on anything and everything. I feel as a person it is important to network with others and hear what they have to say also so the big picture can be unveiled to us all. I have an unlimited interest in the world around us from politics, to family to the fact that we don't all quite know what to make of certain situations. It's important to form opinions but it is equally important to respect the point of view of others. Respect something I'd like to think we've lost in this world but when I really think hard about it...I don't think it was ever there. What do you think? I've always thought respect was something you give & you'll recieve back...but as I've gotten older that really doesn't seem to be the case. Family sueing Family. Neighbors hating each other. Nations killing each other...where is the respect for each other?
