This is not absolute, but based on a Bell curve distribution.<br />Personally, if someone does not respect me, I do lack love for them; it certainly becomes more a matter of will than feelings. I still want love, but I don't "hear" the love without some level of respect.Vincehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00051714713211851570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-609333251405752247.post-29915111041244001572011-10-03T18:40:02.920-05:002011-10-03T18:40:02.920-05:00Mm-HM.

I asked you in an email about the pink and blue thing and you said the central focus of the conference was the love/respect dichotomy, and that bugs me. I'm female. In my experience, if someone respects me, I feel indebted to them. I feel appreciated. And therefore, I feel loved. But I have seen people NOT show me respect and known that those people loved me. And it didn't make one bit of difference - I felt hurt and struggled to act kindly, even though I knew they had affection for me, because they could not bring themselves to treat me with respect. ^.^ So perhaps I am just strange, yes? Or overly proud? If I have misunderstood this post, okay. I know that I seek conversation, so that's true. I know that learning to talk and listen is one of the most important things a person can do. But if someone cares for me and does not respect me, I will know and I will not feel any rush of gratitude or joy at ALL.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02295628153625301021noreply@blogger.com
