Honor Your Father and Mother - 6 (final)

From the Urban Dictionary:

1.	Respect	923 up, 181 down
	It means valuing each others points of views. It means being open to being wrong. It means accepting people as they are. It means not dumping on someone because you're having a bad day. It means being polite and kind always, because being kind to people is not negotiable. It means not dissing people because they're different to you. It means not gossiping about people or spreading lies.   Yet more: 2. respect 1439 up, 304 down A quality seriously lacking in today's society And, finally. . .  3. respect 576 up, 168 down Something everyone expects, but has no willingness to show.  There is a spreading phenomenon through suburbia here in the Denver area where middle aged daughters are dissing their mothers, cutting their mothers off, refusing to speak to their mothers and generally exercising a lack of respect.   Sadly, most of the middle aged mothers I know call themselves people of faith, usually Christian, while acting as if their faith stinks.   At any rate, respect may mean honesty -- "This is what you do that really, really annoys me" -- but respect by it's inherent nature works to maintain, even enhance the relationship.  One more definition: 4. respect 233 up, 85 down To treat people in the manner in which you expect to be treated. To show consideration for another person's feelings and interests. An attitude demonstrating that you value another person. You should treat your friends with respect.   This is the heart, I believe, of "honoring [respecting] your father and mother.     Jesus seems to have expanded the concept to more than father and mother:  "Do to others what you would have them do to you."   How do you see it?  Leave a comment and let us know.
