i have a question about " RESPECT "

[surreys princess]

to me, fear is a feeling...you can fear disappointing someone, but that isnt fearing the person..if i were to fear a person, i dont think i could respect them..respect is something so very earned, and fear is just an emotion, almost like a reaction or something...appreciation..that is just being able to see something in someone or thing that you can find good in, like a painting or someones goals, way they live their life, etc..i dont respect everything i appreciate..this is just for me though..maybe i am not stoned enough??? lol...

respect is earned with me,,,if you cut me off on a hiway you loose respect,,,if you let me get in you earned respect... I start all on a level playing field and it is earned from that point....

I think your enviorment is determining your thought FO...

Respect and fear is so far apart for me. All I know is if I don't respect something I don't fear it, if I respect something..I don't fear it. The only thing I fear is my maker. But if I respect someone I try hard not to piss them off, not because I fear them, it's just the fact that I never felt like I had a family so everyone who I respect obviously is a friend and I think of them as apart of my family but I still don't let my guard down as if I could really trust them a whole lot.

I respect my father and mother without fearing them, therefore respect does not require fear.
