What's Earned

It seems that today's world does not respect things the way they used to be. That the amount of respect that is given is directly related to the amount that is earned. The harder respect is to earn the more respect that is felt. Some people use pieces of this world as stepping stones with no respect for what other people have earned. Is it jealousy or is it just people who have grown up with out having to feel the pain of nothing and having to work hard and give all they can, because suffering is one of the best teachers, the best teacher of respect.
