We were born different with each person in this entire world. Our uniqueness is what makes us who we are. But being different sometimes are not always right to others. We hold our own personalities, beliefs, culture, ideology, perception.

I'm always approachable, I'm nice to people who are nice to me, and sometimes, I respect those people who aren't nice to me. I love having a good conversation. I always respect others for their beliefs, even if it's weird for my beliefs. But sometimes, it's not always like that for others. I had this conversation with a "flat earther". I stay with facts and not fictions, I respect his idea that the earth is flat and not global, how he shares his ideas about conspiracy about government. I do laugh sometimes, but believe me, I respect his idea about everything.

Yesterday, he tried to convince me about how government pollutes our water, poisoning us. I know it sounds scary and funny at the same time. The problem is, I don't buy that "bullshit", but I do respect his idea because it "his", not mine. Because I don't believe on that idea, he immediately block me as if I'm the rude one. Then I realized that, not all people might respect your beliefs, but they only listen to their own "ego". Then I suddenly realizes that some people only respects you when the only thing you do is believe on every little thing they said.

Just because our beliefs are different doesn't mean I'm not respectful or rude. Respecting others doesn't mean you have to believe every little details of their idea. Respect comes from how you treat a person. Remember, we all have different personalities because we are different from each and everyone "around the globe".
