My answer: Beautifully chosen questions; studying them more deeply can clearly delineate the necessity of the answers in our world today. There is a route, rote of political correctness that is necessary in measure and reserve, traditionally used to address historical to current egress, etc.; allowing perspective to inform our behaviors and communications in those regards. Yet, we live in a nation of extremes, even seen in our younger generations contorting through to deforming themselves in a plethora of varied ways to ‘get ahead’, ‘be and show talent’, ‘have a competitive edge’, make enough $ to exist through to successfully defend themself and live well, etc.; in quite unnatural through to self-destruction means to their ends. Of course, ‘to each their own’, ‘que sera, …’, etc., yet, as this community does, “…we(e),…” can effective work towards re-kindling the evolution by struggling against the corporate structure’s convolution’s devolutionary direction’s programming of people. To that end, my answers are aimed. Naturally, by human growth and relation (which life is), we treat everyone respectfully; yet, not as a product of supposed left intellectual projections like, “everybody should be respected”. For, the intellect can’t lead, as the life doesn’t follow. A good rule of thumb, as all here may be aware, is treat one as you would have them treat you; unless one is otherwise informed by someone’s behaviors and/or communications, etc.. As well, it’s spiritually possible to still respect one whose abusing you or just being obnoxious, while also defending oneself from them; probabably a preferable path. Yet, I wished to bring up a point that might add hue to the conversation. I don’t know about the rest of you, yet, I’ve experienced that the truth is seldom spoken, the rule of taking one’s golden silence all the way to the bank, for decades straight, if not life, if considered concretized. And, of course, the more one walks that path of ‘least resistence’, at minimum ‘going along to get along’, etc., they tend to ‘put blinders on‘, ‘only go forward’, ‘mind their business’, ‘not put their nose into other peoples lives’; which leads to pathological ‘white lying’, mental ‘departmentalization’, pathological lying (why tell a truth when you can lie), pathological extreme lying (why tell any ole’ lie when you can extremely lie every time)- motis operendi such as ‘ignorance isn’t just bliss’, nor ‘next to godliness’, but, rather ‘all’, etc. (extreme means to extreme ends, defined and determined necessary by the wordly world)....
