How to respect, what is respect?

| Henna Timanttimetsä
Does the word respect have a clang of old-school and stiffness about it in a way that there is something that needs to be changed how we see what it is to respect someone? There is respect in manners and paying attention to how we treat each other, take others into consideration, but that is not all what comes to respect. When I often call out for respect for women it is not a call for manners and opening doors or bowing your heads towards me, taking your hat off when passing by. Respect is entirely something else, which many times seems to be absent in the meaning I am after. Is respect something we earn and is given when we deserve it? Is respect presence, present when we are, not to think there is something better elsewhere, but something interesting is here where you are at? To me respect is exactly the acknowledging the importance of something and someone in that place. Acknowledging is not a trophy or a prize, it is noticing and wanting to know. It is paying attention instead of seeking something that is a higher far away goal. The better than attitude is so common I have become to loath it and places where such attitude for some reason is winning.
Respect is finding the same level and enjoying that level, exploring and getting to know it. Yes one can be ambitious and aim high. There are wrong ways and right ways to get there. Wrong way is the way of deceit and thinking about the prize.

Created equal! It should be grand.

She is like that she does that, it is very human to be suspicious of her, at least now after all that history of man, of ours where woman is a merchandise. Accusation is she is like that.
She is like that she does that, with no end, a cowardice act an attempt to hide herself and let strangers to use her body, get paid for it. What do you mean ours? What is ours? What do you mean hide? What she is, there is no use in hiding, we know her what she is, what she is for , what she can do. When you sell your body you sell yourself, there is nowhere to hide.
She is like that she does that, doing the dirty work, walking the night, looking, looked at
She is like that she does that, to experience such hate, to live in fear
She is like that she does that, it may come as a shock what she had to do to survive

Honor and dignity are serious matters, part of humanity, which dictate much in this world of people who seek to be respected and honored, but those two are also matters of opinion and choice, important what comes to women’s rights who often do not have freedom of choice.

The Status of Women in Islam vs Status of Women in other Civilizations and Religions

In this light people who still argue that feminism is not important or say it plays no role whatsoever to make lives better amaze me. Rights of women are vital to all of society. If women do not have a say over their lives and they are possessions who can be treated as objects civilizations do not evolve, we do not find equality, peace nor are able to let all people be the best possible persons they can. By violating women’s and girls’ rights continuously we waste human resources, we do not reduce suffering, poverty, ignorance nor oppression.

Anyone ever tell you that you cannot do something? just because..

| Henna Timanttimetsä

Did it have something to do with art? Did it have something to do with your persona, your being, you as a woman, different color of your skin, sexual orientation, age you are?

Someone not liking what you do, what you are, what you represent, how you are? People possibly realize how common it is to ditch, to give negative response just because our biases and own experiences affect our judgment. To give credit is difficult. It has to be learned from early on, as one has to learn to accept negative and positive feedback, not only either one. To be able to give justified, sincere and honest feedback especially positive is important. To give it to everybody, no matter how minor a gesture, is precious. It is easy to be cynical about it, like who deserves your kind word, attention and gaze (pay attention to how you gaze). What is a look worth, what does it mean? Interesting issue is who is deserving and what our makings are worth. What is the value of what we do and how it should be appreciated. What society values and why and how do we become to value something?

Illusion of superiority, to live an illusion

| Henna Timanttimetsä

We like to sink in illusion, believe in it as it is the perfected truth, another kind of reality. Illusion is so beautiful and it can be bought. Illusion makes one beautiful in the illusion and for those others who live the same image. Out of many reasons we like to remain in the state of oblivion. Laziness of mind, ease of it, of not paying attention, making an effort, not knowing that illusion is an illusion, not wanting to know, unwillingness to believe there is something wrong, that something else would be better and truer. Sink in imagined perfection that is fed for us via images as someone kind, perfect and gentle is telling us how and why this is what we should want, this is what everybody should be like, an idea of ourselves, and what we are supposed to be, where we are supposed to be. What we are is born out of comparison. Not making a distinction between illusion, because that is dangerous. I do not exist without that other, without dreaming. I have to belong with others to exist as human and be with a group of similar kinds with the same illusion.

Idea of a person, of me, you, persons that are born out of spoken words, adults, adulthood, proper and improper images, advertising, movies, liking, disliking and mutual understanding of what superiority is, what is good, what is perfection, what is there to achieve for us as sexes, origins, places and individuals as a group. What we are supposed to be is a collective understanding, a result of collective comprehension and we must understand and discard anything that breaks, anything that disturbs, anything that we cannot understand. Because we are unable to repair. We are scared of that moment of being broken inside, being separated. Of having to face that person who is needy and weak. Who says things that you do not want to hear, you say you do not understand. That person is crazy, that person is anything you are not.

So what is the illusion here, one might ask. What is the superior and seemingly perfect should be always questioned. We compare, but we do not necessarily use the information found via comparison to evolve, but we use it to compete and win in jealous gaming and to make division building barriers, not connections.

 

The essence of evil

You don’t have to be a monster or a madman to dehumanise others. You just have to be an ordinary human being

”To appreciate how effortlessly we bisect the world into outward appearance and inner reality, one need only consider cinematic portrayals of vampires. Under most circumstances, vampires are indistinguishable from genuine human beings. You might strike up a conversation with one in a bar without having any suspicions at all, until the moment she sinks her fangs into your throat. ” http://aeon.co/magazine/society/how-does-dehumanisation-work/
