243 Entries for “respectable”

  1. It is respectable to understand and see from other people’s points of views, to be open and to be dignified, to understand and to not complain. It can be many things, but is often disregarded in the society we have created today. It is easy to lose respect, almost as easy to lose trust. These things are forgotten when you begin negotiations, but should be the first and foremost thought. I hope to someday be respectable

  31. What’s respectable? Being a well-known patriarch of society? Paying the bills, putting food upon the table, laying out the ingredients for a good life? Or perhaps is it that human who wants to live so much, he sits on the sidewalk and asks, so kindly for some change. That human who so values living and breathing, that he throws away everything else. Surely that’s respectable?

  36. Legs crossed with
    screaming hazel eyes
    that allow you to undress her
    underneath the work desk.

    Yeah, she’s certainly respectable
    among the wolves dressed up
    as men in a whores society.

  37. The single concept pounds at my head. Classy. what does it mean.
    what is sex.
    to whom should it mean anything
    It’s my body. just like any other body. just like you; or her; or anyone really.
    So who cares who i share it with. Who cares. It’s not my body that one will be lucky to gain access to. It’s my thoughts, my mind, everything inside my head. That’s what is special. not my body, for my body is the same body everyone else has.

  38. People say respect should be earned in order to get some in return. Then who is suppose to give respect first? No one is completely respectable, we’re only human. We have flaws and nasty habits. Respect isn’t always given to things we find disgusting or unpleasant. Would you respect me if I cursed at you for no reason? Would you respect me if I threw a tantrum and acted all sweet afterwards? No. You would think I was an idiot, immature, or unpleasant. That wouldn’t earn me the respect of anyone. Yet for some people, their respect can not be earned by acting in a mature fashion but by getting out of your comfort zone and doing something amazing. Save a life, go out of your way for someone, do an amazing stunt, overcoming a challenge, etc. Most people don’t care if you get a promotion in your field of work, they care if you do something to blow their mind in order for them to see you in a positive light.

  39. She was respected by all her peers, but me. To me she was just another liar who wanted people to love her. She was an attention stealer. Hogging it and thriving from it. There was nothing respectable about her. She got high grades but so did I.

  40. I always respected her. She was too pretty and kind not to. She gave everyone supplies, talked about what she was going to do when she gets older; giving money to the poor, opening her own charity, feeding the hungry. She wanted to end world hunger and I couldn’t help but wish I was as generous as she was.
