<div class="IPBDescription">Place to put your ideas....</div>[Just a sidenote, not tryin to earn freakin maturity points, was actually talkin bout this with my Pop, wonderin what ya'll peeps ideas were bout it.]

Philosphical Question of the Day: What would society be like, if you did away with <b>Fear</b> and replaced it with a <b>Respect</b> for everything...

For example, instead of abusing drugs, because you have a fear for quitting, or fear of reality or something along those lines... You respect the drug, and don't succumb to becoming an addict. (im talking every type of drug, medicinal to narcotic to alcohol to even caffine.)

Or... Fear of Commitment, People are so scared of being together with another person for a long period of time, they break up over simple squabbles, why not respect each other and decide what arguements are worth fighting over.

How bout instead of fearing life, you respect it, you were born the way you are, you shouldn't fear iniative, get somewhere and start chisling your name on the Slate of Great Men and Women(sorry, thought it sounded good).

Okie enough examples, tell me your opinions, ideas, no flaming please, respect each persons opions on the idea. Read my lil sig, and you will sorta understand... So ya use your brains 'n all.

    or how about people give in to the bad guy not out of <b>fear</b>, but out of <b>respect</b>. therefore noone would oppose him because they would all <b>respect</b> him for the fact that he is a 'mover and a shaker'. And there wouldn't be a hero who decides to take on the bad guy because he's <b>afraid</b> of the bad guy causing some horrible fate to fall upon a loved one, hey instead would respect the bad guy because he knows the bad guy has the ability to inflict harm on loved ones.

    Or say there are theives that are stealing spree, noone would stop them, not because they're <b>afaid</b> of the thieves, but because they <b>respect</b> that the thieves are trying to make a living. But on the other hand why would the theives be stealing in the first place? it wouldn't be because they're <b>afraid</b> that they'll run out of food, or have their legs broken by some aptly named leg breakers, or that they won't be able to afford their next hit of <insert addictive drug here>.

    i could go on for a while, but i won't because it gets incredibly boring eventually <!--emo&:p--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'><!--endemo-->
