This is Leafa, posting on Respect. I noticed the label Respect in the "Lessons" spot and clicked on it. FrostWolf has "Respecting Nature" down, but I think I'll post on the value of respect itself.
Respect is where you honor somebody, like I honor their opinions can be transformed to "I respect their opinions." Of course, honor is different, like a higher, more intense level of respect, but they're similar.
Respect is an excellent thing. Having respect for another's values and traditions will win your traditions respect from that person. It is good to respect your parents, the rest of your family, extended family, friends, teachers, and elders. If you have respect for your teachers, you're more likely to win their good will and that good will can give you better education because the teacher will like you. You should have respect for your elders because they are far wiser and more knowledgeable than you.
Have respect for your parents because they a) clothe you b) feed you c) educate you d) birthed you
e) they love you f) they respect you g) they give you presents h) they take you on trips i) they give you a home j) they let you go on the Internet and see this lesson k) they teach you manners l) they teach you respect m) they work hard to get money so you don't go into the poorhouse n) they try to ensure you have friends o) they do some of your chores p) they get a ton of luxuries for you q) they understand you r) they stand you. The list goes to z and beyond that.
Respect your siblings, also. If you don't respect them, it's not likely they will respect you, and thus you're more likely to be called names and be teased by them.
Have respect for your friends because they have deigned to be friends with you. But I used deigned figuratively, because if they deigned to be friends they're probably not going to be the best friends xD. But if those friends are nice, you ought to respect them and their values. If they have peculiar traditions, respect those, too.
And, of course, have respect for your extended family because they are your family, and your parents want you to respect them. Also, your extended family will want to like you and will want to respect you; if, of course, you like and respect them.
