I strongly believe and assert that you respect and honour people because of who you are, and not particularly because of whom they are! As a disclaimer though, I have to point it out here that you must strive to earn respect and honour with everyone and everywhere, for respect and honour are chiefly a ripple effect of your results and how you handle and present yourself to people - consistently("man looks on the outward"). However, just like in the case of love, IF THE ONLY PEOPLE YOU RESPECT, HONOUR OR TREAT WELL ARE THOSE WHO DULY EARN AND DESERVE IT, THEN YOU REALLY NEED TO URGENTLY WORK ON YOURSELF. Your core is faulty!
