Remember These Words

      With everyone you ever meet
      With every step of your two feet
         Every time that you compete
       
       If you want your life to be complete
       Remember these words forever sweet
         ‘Respect’ is ever a two-way street

David Crandall Date: 9/14/2025 6:21:00 PM Excellent message - I like the way you build up to it, and it should be a strong message when you get there - to line 6, and it is (doesn't disappoint) ...this would be good for Line's contest.

Ilene Bauer Date: 9/14/2025 12:30:00 PM So well said, Gershon! Too bad so few follow this… Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 9/14/2025 7:46:00 PM People took the 'dis' off of disrespect and made it 'a thing,' I'm afraid...

Kim Rodrigues Date: 9/14/2025 11:14:00 AM We give certain levels of trust to each person. Some, almost 100 percent, others 20 percent. So we can love all people, but we gauge what we can share. We, of course hope for shared respect. Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 9/14/2025 7:52:00 PM You mean that you have no respect for Mamdani?! Gasp! ~ A. Ree Tha

John Lawless Date: 9/14/2025 7:02:00 AM Several young men objected, saying I was "disrespecting" them. They were stunned when I informed them that they had not EARNED my respect. That I offered them the opportunity to earn my respect and hoped they would use it by offering me that same opportunity to earn theirs.
