Re: Respect.
As a child I remember being in awe or afraid of certain people ie policemen, doctors, teachers so I don't think that was a respect thing
As a teenager I remember learning about respect from people I met that had an impact on me either by their words of encouragement or actions to inspire me with what I may have been trying to achive at that time in my life.
Today I view people as simply people doing either a good or bad job so perhaps its harder to find people to respect these days or we get more choosy on whom we bestow the word respect
