Ear-ratum(Teach me how to....respect)-Impeachment 2012

Because of so many things to do, I usually stay up late at night and would always watch the news before the clock ticks midnight. I was able to watch the bombastic and sarcastic attack of Sen. Miriam to the prosecutors. The lady senator almost swallowed them alive for withdrawing 5 articles from their 8 articles of impeachment against CJ Corona. G-a-g-o and wahhhh pitched high in the Senate tribunal.

Very clear in the picture was that of Atty Vitaliano Aguirre's ear-ratum(hehehe forgive me for weaving such a term). He covered his ears with his hands during the unwanted lecture(for him maybe) of Sen Miriam. Naturally, this became the moment of all moments in yesterdays' trial. This is truly mockable. The poor prosecutor was not able to stand the angelic voice of the lady senator. Many raised their eyebrows with the reactions of both parties while others sided with Atty Aguirre.

Actually, the bottomline of this is only Respect.

Respect was not seen in yesterdays' impeachment trial which involved big names in the political and judicial arena. How much more in the lives of ordinary people in everyday's ordinary situations?

Consider these simple situations:
1. You have waited for your room mate for a couple of minutes because he woke up first and used the bathroom.
2. You were in a hurry but upon seeing the red traffic light, you stopped on the road.
3. You terribly believed that your boss was wrong in his plan. You have waited for the right time to react politely but firmly.
4. Your wife said ill words and those affected you. You did not break her neck because she's your wife.
5. Your subordinates were not able to meet your requirements on time. You wanted to yell at them but you controlled yourself not to. You rather arranged a meeting to discuss the problems.
6. You don't like to offend your friend online. You don't want to hurt her. You rather appeared busy or invisible sometimes.

Did you experience some of them? If yes, I think you know what it takes to be respectful. You are in control and will not be in an era-ratum situation just like what Atty Aguirre did... or would you want to take a stand and put yourself on spotlight? It's decision..and you will always be as good as your last decision.
