"re-spect" - to look again

etymology -> "to pay attention to one's surrounds"

"dis-re-spect"

implied: to not pay attention to one's surrounds

thus, it attacks nothing implicitly

thus, it is none of your business

although you may wish to take note

prior to silently walking away

to determine self-worth

based upon your interpretation of another's conduct

is to open yourself to all manner of confusion

inclusive of self-doubt

in which way you matter is up to your magical whim

as it depends solely upon which aesthetic you wish to re-present

your boundaries - there are those you will want to defend till the death

in summary:

immunity from dis-respect is generally maintained by remaining deadly,

joyfully and lovingly deadly if you can manage it

be clear about the behaviour you deem acceptable

most importantly your own

because it is through your behaviour you communicate your values

and the world has only this as a guide

in determining which theatre most appropriate to your viewing pleasure
