Respect is so important to people that you can lose your life for it.

Respect is so important to people that you can lose your life for it. You don't believe me? Get into it with somebody & they say something crazy to you, you'll be ready to get street real fast. In a way that's understandable because for some people, respect is all they have. They have nothing else in their lives but their respect, so they're doing all they can to hold onto that. In the inner-city, the slightest infraction can end in death. These young brothers are quick to shoot you for disrespecting them, which is why a lot of senseless murders happen in the black community, because of pride. Everyone has something to prove; nobody wants to be disrespected and I understand that. You're not supposed to let people disrespect you, because if a person can get away with disrespecting you, they'll keep pushing the envelope. At some point, people need to value themselves enough to where they won't stand for shade from ANYONE. I have a motto that's served me well for years: People don't have to like or love me, but they will respect me, and vice versa.
