Trust and Loyalty Never Comes From Demanding Respect But From Commanding Honor

When anyone presents themselves as moral leaders on any platform at any level, their actions automatically commit them to live by higher standards lest they look weak in the eyes of others as well as a hypocrite.

This means their actions weigh even more than their own words…

And when anyone is as hypocritical as they come, have not those actions only proven the validity of the argument for their counterparts?

Or have not those actions proven the owners lack the wisdom and intelligence to present their argument?…

Some people who present themselves as moral leaders believe they have to demand respect and everything else will fall into line afterward…

That attitude is as backward as it comes - and lacks all wisdom and discernment as it is self-fulfilling they are seeking not being of service to others.

The only path to commanding honor

starts with humility,

and that humility will beget respect,

and in turn, respect will beget honor

which eventually will beget loyalty…

This path builds a trust that, at first is delicate, but becomes somewhat solid later on.

I say somewhat as once that trust is broken, it is like smashing a fine china tea cup…

IF you can put it back together it will never look the same, feel the same, and it definitely won’t hold what it used to…

Trust has to be constantly earned with each act, each task, and each accomplishment.

As does honor as well as respect — and to keep maintaining the command of this requires a constant exercise of humility.

Anyone commanding honor can only do so via persuasion, and that persuasion will have to be repeated quite often.

This is the problem for those who demand respect as they have a hard time understanding all of this — like Obama, Hillary, Holder, Schiff, Pelosi, and Biden.

They prefer the demanding route, which will get them some level of respect but hardly ever honor, at least not true and lasting honor.

And they will never have the trust that could have been gained if they had only learned how to command honor — but then again, it takes a certain character that has the discipline to build that trust, a character none of them seem to be interested in.

This is the biggest reason why we really shouldn’t be interested in any of them either, save to keep our enemies closer than our friends.
