" Respect was invented to cover the empty place where love should be. "

Respect is another form of love. There can be no devotion if there is no admiration for others. We respect our parents, teachers, and friends as they are important to us.

Love is a deep feeling when we feel completed by ourselves and share that affection with others by respecting and treating them well. The way we talk to people in a heated argument, our loyalty towards them, and trust all build-up to keep the love going. And among all of these, respect is the primary thing that one should never have and give to others for maintaining healthy relationships.
