The moment when you require to be respected, the respect disappears. Why? It is because the respect can not be attained by begging for it. When you demand respect, you impose a certain mind frame on a person. And this never brings results!
The frame of mind is the inner work of a person. It must come from inside, not from outside.

you are right, I remembered a mate of mine. When I first met him he said "I want respect". The first thing that run through my brain was the question: "Hmm... do I have to? What for?". So respect comes with time. Just show respect and you'll receive it.
