Now knowing what the dictionary term for respect is, lets investigate it a little further.

There are some people that we do not like, but claim to respect. This claim cannot be true unless one is able to openly tell the person that they respect, exactly how they feel about them. Without telling the truth, respect has no meaning, and therefore cannot exist.

Webster's definition of respect only covers things that deserve respect. Esteem and honor are things that cause one person to respect another. Esteem is when someone is placed in high regard. Esteem comes when someone has done good acts. Esteem comes from honor. Honor is as misunderstood as respect. One with honor keeps all promises, or practically dies trying. One with honor has the ability to admit when they are wrong. One with honor has their priorities set, and their beliefs strong. They have their heart open to change. One with honor knows when to fight and when to run.
