Respect is truly a very easily contested term…

Does respect reciprocate?
Is respect mutual?
Is respect earned or given?
What do you respect a person for?
Do you respect a person for his passion?
Do you still respect a person for his passion if he doesn’t respect you for yours?
When do you stop respecting a person?

Most importantly, don’t preach respect if you don’t practice it yourself all the time…because it hurts…it does…
