Hi there awesome friends of the Cent community and my dearest fellow Hivers. Your girl @skyehi is back to you with another awesome writing guys. Yesterday's story and post was an absolute success. I'm truly grateful for all those that have been supportive of my posts. Thank you all guys.
Well today's story is going to teach us another cool lesson in respect. Respect for people is really important guys. Giving respect makes people feel good, adequate and they do better.
LET'S READ THE STORY
The Power of Respect - The Tale of a Wise old man and a Disrespectful boy
So once upon a time, there was this very wise old man living in this really quiet village, right? I mean this village was a pretty peaceful place. He's like, the ultimate grandpa, super chill and all about respecting everyone.
And one day, a young guy called Liam shows up, acting like he's too cool to care about anyone's vibes. 😒 He was new in the village.
I believe everyone has encounted people like this. They really just don't give a damn about anyone else.
Well, Liam was kinda curious about why everyone was vibing with the old guy. He basically doesn't care about people but was wondering why this old man was practically a superstar in the village. Everyone should him respect.
And if you know about disrespectful people, they like to prove that if everyone will respect something or someone, they will attempt to disrespect it to prove that they don't fear. 😅😅 What a weird and unreasonable concept.
So He decides to peep the scene, and the old man welcomes him with open arms, throws him a seat, and even serves up some hot tea. Liam knew this old man was indeed very nice as they say but didn't want to give respect back.
Liam was like nah!!, he's on a whole interruption spree, and he's all about those sarcastic comments.
I'm pretty sure Liam's plan was to tempt the old man so he can prove to people that "See he's not as nice as you think and you should disrespect him"
But here's the twist guys
The old dude wasn't sweating it. He's just dropping wisdom bombs, talking about empathy, kindness, and, yup, respect.
He constantly spills about a time when he was just like Liam, totally brash, and it cost him friends and major opportunities. He really kept going and ignoring the worst temptations and signs of disrespect.
Liam became very surprised and amazed at how the old man overlooked all his disrespect and kept his cool throughout. Liam immediately got the message of the old man.
You see the idea of how to handle disrespectful people is not to respond with disrespect otherwise they will never see the need to change. They keep thinking it's normal and everyone is disrespectful. But when you keep your cool, they start to realize a whole different world of respect. That's what happened to Liam. It was truly a teachable moment for him.
Liam learned that day that respecting others isn't a sign of weakness but it's rather like having this inner strength thing. He does a 180, apologizes for his drama😅, and commits to turning things around.
Taking good inspiration from the old dude, Liam starts helping out in the village, spreading good vibes and guess what everyone he respected gave back respect.
Fast forward, and Liam's a whole new dude. He's now very legit in his conversation, treating people with mad respect. Everyone starts leveling up their respect game. The old man's wisdom and great respectful attitude pays off, helping Liam realize that showing respect is truly important.
The End
