I've been thinking about the word 'respect' of late. We hear it tossed about quite frequently. Respect your elders, always respect women, and the mother of all fell good expressions: respect yourself,
I've wondered if respect to some, means love? The two words are probably entangled, to some degree.
I believe there is another way to consider what respect could mean: esteem. Not exactly admiration, but honor. To honor someone; not for what they have, or things they may have given, but at your own core, you have the ability to really see someone for who that person is with the esteem he or she deserves.
One of my silly pleasures is to read (scour) the local Community news.
