In 2015, Username “stimmyabby” posted the following on Tumblr:

Sometimes people use "respect" to mean "treating someone like a person" and sometimes they use “respect” to mean  “treating someone like an authority"

and sometime people who are used to being treated like an authority say "if you won't respect me I won't respect you” and they mean "if you won't treat me like an authority I won’t treat you like a person”

and they think they’re being fair but they aren’t, and it’s not okay.

A panel cartoon.
Panel 1 - A sign with an arrow that reads "Tree Stump O' Deep Thoughts You're Not Usually Capable Of"
Panel 2 - A cartoon pig climbs up on a tree stump.
Panel 3 - The pig says "No one knows what we're doing here."
Panel 4 - The pig continues "Some have faith that they do, but know one KNOWS."
Panel 5 - The pig says "So we are scared. We are alone, and we end. And we don't know where we go."
Panel 6 - The view widens to show mountains and the pasture as the Pig continues "So we cling to money for comfort. And we chase awards for immortality. And we hide in the routine of our days.
Panel 7 - Back to a close up of just the pig and the stump. He says "But then the night. Always the night."
Panel 8 - He continues "Which, when it has you alone, whispers that maybe none of this has any significance."
Panel 9 - Again the view widens to include the mountains and the field as well as the pig on the stump. He says "So love everyone you're with. Because comforting each other on this journey we neither asked for nor understand, is the best we can do."
Panel 10 - The pig climbs down off of the tree stump.
Panel 11 - Just the tree stump is pictured.
Panel 12 - The pig pokes his head around the corner of the panel and says "And laugh as much as you can."
Panel 13 - Again only the empty stump is pictured.
