“It’s not about changing the world. It’s about doing our best to leave the world..the way it is. It’s about respecting the will of others, and believing in your own.” Big Boss MGS4
When Big Boss says this in reference to The Boss’ ideas, he’s saying we need to have universal respect for anyone. Everyone is going to have different beliefs and we need to respect them while we believe in our own ideas. In our current society with so many different opinions clashing at all times, this quote could be used to apply to anything. Everyone has an individual belief system but we can’t change the world based on any one individuals beliefs and need to respect the beliefs of everyone else. If everyone followed this quote from Big Boss the world would be a much happier place. -
nah.

No offense, but some things in the world need to change. Like pollution, for example. If we just leave issues alone, we will have a whole lot of trouble on our hands.
And it's not the best solution to just leave EVERYTHING alone. What if someone was going through a rough time and needed support? It wouldn't be in their best interest to be left alone. -
i think people need to be treated with respect regardless of beliefs but i dont think beliefs themselves necessarily should be respected.

Interesting idea Raiden
I think youre going off strangely unrelated tangents
You speak of doing good, but what good is found in lack of change?
I belieev respect is found right between the hedges of obedience and rebellion
You choose in the end what u believe will be right for you, but only a stronghearted few leave the standard way to clear the path to freedom -
I believe youre also missing a vital point. That small acts of good bring way more benefits to the whole world than you think you realize
1 Step at a time
What is a real hero?
Our heroes didnt suddenly rise from the ashes to solve the planet dilemma. They started as nothing, continued on by "doing the undoing", and eventually verified the phrase DEDICATION as our "Bat-signal" -
At a certain point, though, it goes past opinions and becomes about morals. And if someone's morals don't align with mine, especially when they're in relation to how other people should be treated, I don't want to be friends with that person.
BUT, and this is what I think you guys are missing, friendship and general respect are two different things. You can hate a persons beliefs and think they're not a morally good person, but that doesn't mean you should treat them poorly. Unless, of course, they are actively harming or upsetting someone. Otherwise there's no reason at all not to be civil.
But not wanting to talk to someone doesn't mean you're not being civil and respectful. Stating why you think someone is morally in the wrong isn't disrespectful. -
Hmm... In terms of respect and beliefs/opinions|morals I agree with drek slightly more
Heres my main issue with your stance Pointless
Friendship and respect... they are one and the same
This is my opinion of course. I believe theres no need to be so specific with these things.Morals, they coincide with everything as long as there is consequence, and further, if that consequence is enacted
If you dont respect a stranger, theres no shame in that
If you dont respect a neighbor, now here theres limits
Dont respect a friend, and by respect I mean long term, you are not a friend. -
You can’t take ‘respect’ and put in the same category as ‘morality’ while also pulling them apart from one another
-
Treating anyone poorly (Im taking what you said to mean a rudeness gone-overboard) despite how violent or offensive they are will never help a situation. U can lose respect towards a person (even for a short time) based on their actions, as long as you do not treat them poorly enough to downscale your relevance
Heres my 2 cents. -
My bad, too long again 😧 Well heres the gist: Respect is learned on the one side and earned on the other. Theres no right or wrong. You can be disrespectful, you can claim something as morally incorrect, but this is not a good OR bad thing that ur doing. You can be on the enemys side sometimes. In fact, you should. Take that opportunity to see life as it truly is: Constantly changing
