Revisiting 'RESPECT'

I really had to look up the definition of respect as I wasn't sure if I am experienced it. It's about text messages. Text messages are sent countless times, perhaps with some carelessness...everything that comes to our mind we text away, at every hour of the day or night. Often it only conveys a message or a thought or a statement, or a mood, with no apparent reason to anser as there might not be a question. However, does that mean that we should ignore it? Or should we not acknowledge receipt at least? Is there respect to consider?

Recalling respect: Respect is looking at a person and consider their state, being and situation, respond appropriately. Other put it in more precise words like "giving positive attention and providing positive recognition." So, in other words avoiding, being silent, providing no answer is disrespect. Hence not answering a text is disrespectful? Well, sometimes for me it is. I can't remember when I did not answer a text or email the last time...only if I truly forget....

Flatsharing

Flatsharing in London can be very draining because one has to deal with people one would not want to meet if seen on the street. You know instinctively that something is not ok, one feels uneasy, so all you can do is stay away from them, tell them nicely, you are busy. Even that is so so draining and uncomfortable, as it is in your 'home'. grrr
