RESPECT IS A THING WHICH YOU NEED TO EARN AND IT IS NEITHER FREE NOR CAN BE BOUGHT. This is seen by me when I saw that there are many people who try to be cunning and try cheating others and they are not respected by anyone and even I have seen people who although are poor but rich at heart and they are respected by people. What do you think about all this....

Hi crosa it can't be termed as respect it is actually fear. Respect comes from within you can't respect a person if according to you he is not respect worthy

yes respect is something we need to earn.we cannot buy respect. we have to work hard to get the respect we want. by respecting others we respect ourselves and others will do the same too. i don't like people who do ill things to others. and i do believe that there are poor people are have earned high respects for being a good person.
