2.2.4 Fear and respect


2.2.4 Fear and respect

Fear is an unpleasant often strong emotion caused by anticipation or awareness of danger while respect is a feeling of appreciative. Fear takes place when you feel there is something that can harm you. But respect comes when someone is being regarded with honor or esteem.

If a person is fear of something then he cannot respect those particular things in any way. But if you totally respect someone then you do not have fear for them. We have noticed that a child gets fear to go to his old grandparent’s room when they are present in that room. But the day he starts to respect them, his all fear would be escaped away.

Feeling like fear for someone develops the negativity in people’s life.in other hand respect for someone not only motivates you but also develops your self-confidence. There is a huge difference in doing your work either due to fear or respect. If it is respect then you do it for your own sake. If not then you will always push it for completion without trying to learn from those works.

Fear can be considered as a low-level emotion. It can lead to one consequence: avoidance. When you have fear for something or somebody, you want to avoid that thing. Whereas, respect is a very high-level emotion, involving the convergence of many other concepts. And respect, unlike fear, allows for many possible responses. I might be compelled to speak with people I respect, but I could avoid them if I want.

Well I want to conclude by saying that fear and respect are very similar feelings. There is no respect in fearing someone, or vice versa. There will be only a response to a danger, and a change in attitude one doubts in the desire to escape that danger. Real respect is empathy and understanding, of two different people on a level ground, looking straight at each other.
