Respect
is for those who deserve it, not for those who demand it.
The men and women who work at sea deserve
respect because what they do is no easy task. Many of us do not even spare them
a thought in our day to day lives but our lives wouldn’t be the same without
these men and women. Without the brave efforts of all the sailors and their
families, this world wouldn’t stand so bravely, shine so radiantly and live so easily.
These seafarers do not demand much from us land
dwellers. All they need an acknowledgement of their efforts and our gratitude
for the services they provide. Maybe a smile of thanks or small pat on the back
would make their day. You might be thinking what have they done for me, why
should I thank them or why should I think about them. Here are a few reasons
why they deserve our respect:-
1.
It is their work at sea on
board merchant vessels which keeps the world trade going. This trade ensures
that people around the world get their needs delivered to them.
2.
From gas to run your vehicle to
fruits and vegetables a lot of our daily needs wouldn’t reach us if it weren’t
for the shipping industry and the people who are part of it.
3.
These sailors work all hours
and all days to keep the shipping trade going. Sometimes they work 24X7 to
manage difficulties and ensure the safety of cargo and ship.
4.
Seafarers work against all odds
to get you items that you need to keep your life going smoothly. They face
unpredictable weather conditions and threat of pirate attacks.
5.
They stay away from their loved
ones for long periods of time while you live with your family completely unaware
of the brilliant efforts put in by these men and women at sea.
These are only a few of the many reasons
why these sailors and their families deserve our respect and gratitude. So,
respect the seafarers. They have earned the respect. They deserve it!
