Respect

Usually I find honestly to be a sign of respect.  And the opposite is obvious.  I try to be honest in my life.  But every once in awhile I have to lie.  I had an incident recently where a neighbor had been in my house while I was on vacation.  I found it creepy and a blatant disregard for respect.  I take the blame in that I gave him my key so he could use my computer.  He did not use my computer the day(s) he was in my place.  He just wanted to snoop I guess.  I'm not good with confrontation so I lied to him to get my key back.  And it worked....I got my key back without any hoopla.  Well until later he wanted clarification on my lie and to know if he was getting my key back. Yes he actually asked that.  No, no he is not.
I no longer feel the need to be respectful of that neighbor.  When I move I won't be maintaining any kind of friendship with him.  We are just neighbors and only that by virtue of renting apartments next to each other.  And while I am here I will continue to be neighborly.
It is kind of funny because I am having another respect issue.  Well guess I always have respect issues.  I am so used to the people in my life being disrespectful with dishonesty and disregard.  It seems to be the nature of addicts and alcoholics.  I trust very very few people.  So it kind of burns when you find one you trust and then have some dishonesty abounding.  Trying to look at it from another angle.....no confrontation, passive/aggressive, all things I know about and understand.  Is it being disrespectful? I can honestly say that when I lie I am not being respectful.
