    A person who disrespects you needs to know what it's like to be disrespected, and the disrespect they show you needs to be multiplied in the disrespect you show them.

    They need to know what it feels like to be disrespected before they can know the value and importance of respect.

    An ex spat in my face. I let it be a lesson in not engaging in codependent relationships. So far, I've aced all tests.

    These days I would probably have clocked the bitch right in the middle of her grill...only risk is she might of fallen. In love, ew. :biggrin:

    How 'bout you?

    Disrespect is a wholly subjective determination. How do you weigh disrespect that you can multiply it?

    You feel disrespected when you feel your sense of dignity has been threatened.
    Well that sense of dignity is not exactly shared by anyone. Your sense of self worth and sense of boundary is entirely self generated and entirely arbitrary. Some times you feel better or worse about yourself. Some people will support your particular sensitivities and some will not. People identify with many different customs, attitudes, causes, etc.

    You have identified no need for action, save it be to get a grip on real things. If you feel threatened to any degree, it is because you believe something that is not true. Nothing real can be threatened. Your imagined reaction to this question would not produce the effect that you claim or hope for. It is a needless and less than useful escalation of conflict. It is doubtful that your action would teach anyone respect and would more likely produce an enemy.

    Respect/disrespect is based on intent. When a person spits in your face, their ONLY intention is to show disrespect. They become my enemy as soon as their saliva, and possibly mucous, splats onto my face. If my making them bleed doesn't teach them a bit of respect, then so be it. They'll at least learn not to spit in my face anymore, and they'll think twice before spitting in anyone else's face.

    Good for you I guess. I think you imagine what your effect might be. You could be the one that gets pounded. The fact is that defending an idea of dignity is not a cause for truth but a reflection of personal insecurity.

    You're better off standing up for yourself and getting beat up then allowing people to spit on you at will.

    You're probably right, and I certainly COULD be the one who gets pounded. haha I'd MUCH rather get the shit kicked out of me than to have someone spit in my face though. Anyway, I'm in an aggressive mindstate right now, because I just ate four xanax's for breakfast, so perhaps we should pick up this debate a few hours from now. haha

    I always enjoy your posts. There's lots of wisdom in your words. Peace, homie:)

    I was at the San Diego Zoo once, with my family, and as we were passing the Gnu exhibit, I leaned forward, facing the Gnu, and said, "You're a nice gnu, aren't you?"

    The Gnu immediately spit in my face.

    But I notice that my dog does the same behavior. I think it's not intended as an insult, but rather, a clearing of the nose, for the purpose of better scent recognition.

    I just don't know how to answer this--I can't imagine it happening to me--especially if they looked into my eyes prior to the act. I guess I did answer.

    One thing I can say about this situation is that for me, this would be a highly unlikely occurrence to begin with.

    I notice we live in a liquid world of vibration and we are constantly propagating waves via our degree of emotional tension. We can demonstrate a field effect of attitude and it becomes increasingly demonstrable with consistency. Duration and frequency determine signal quality.
