Respect – The World As I See It

This week for the writers workshop I am going to write about number 3 which is: list 8 things you think people forgot how to do. I loved this prompt because there are a few things that I think people have forgotten how to do. I always find myself asking out loud to really no one how hard would it be to do this that or another thing depending on the situation so this post was a fun one to write and a change from the normal posts I write.

Anyway now on to 8 things people forgot how to do.

They have forgotten how to use the blinker. You would think it was an optional feature on vehicles because people rarely use them anymore. I love when people get pissed off that I wouldn’t let them but they didn’t use a blinker because if they had I almost always let people over.
People forgetting that they need to stop at red lights or even start slowing down when the light turns yellow. I have to be honest there are times when I speed up when the light turns yellow but I am trying to break myself of that habit.
People have forgotten how to move out of the fast lane when they are driving slower than the speed limit.
People have forgotten how to say “Thank You” when people do something for you. They also don’t say “excuse me” when they want to get past you in a store or any other place.
Some parents have forgotten how to teach their children respect for authority & just respect in general.
People have forgotten the saying “If you don’t have anything nice to say than don’t say anything at all”.
Some people have forgotten that you need to work for things and that not everything is handed to you.
People have forgotten how to respect other people’s belongings. I am amazed at how people don’t care about other people’s things anymore.

Those are 8 things that I think people have forgotten. What do you think people have forgotten?

My brother had his gallbladder out on Sunday and I wanted to write about something here because I see a lack of it respect for choices that others make regarding their own bodies and/or lives. I love people sharing information with me but I get tired of people trying to push their views on me and others. Everyone makes different choices because everyone is different.

For example I know now my doctor doesn’t totally agree with some of my choices but she has left it up to me. She tells me her opinions and what she would do if she was me. I have seen a lot this going around and it upsets me because everyone makes choices based on their own lives and their own situations.

This doesn’t have to do with just health things but anything going on in people’s lives. I have stopped sharing most things on Facebook because I get tired of people judging and/or trying to push their views on me and my other friends. I came to realize while I was pregnant what it feels like to be judged and I try my hardest not to judge anyone. I know that we all judge people on some level but I do my best to keep in check because I know how it felt to be judged and it is an horrible feeling.

I have friends in my life that I don’t agree with their choices but I do respect them and I also allow them to live their lives as they see fit. There is no way that everyone in the world will agree with what you do or how you do it but people need respect their choices.
