Fear and respect are two different emotion of human.
Fear means to be afraid of someone while respect is to admire someone. So it is
clear that these two words are two different feeling that one can feel for
people. We can easily differentiate these two emotions. When we fear we are
threatened, we tend to have negative feeling for that person and we try to
avoid that person as much as possible. But when we respect someone we love to
be around that person. We are not afraid to share our view with that person. We
are free to be ourselves when we are around the person we respect.
Respect is something that we earn but fear is forced
upon us. The feeling of respect may be mutual but fear can never be mutual
between two people. Respect is something that can be earned which develops our
personality and broadens the knowledge level leading us to the glory. On the
other hand, Fear is something that is created in us which depends on how we
react or handle things. It is something we are afraid of, which never boosts up
the feeling to know about something even if it is good.
We fear those who are capable of harming us. Like we
are afraid of the terrorist because we fear that we will be harmed by them. We
respect the great people like mother Teresa because of her good deeds and are
always inspired to be like her. We evaluate and consider the ideas, values,
feelings, thoughts of the person we respect. But we cannot stand the only
feeling of the person we fear. The feeling of respect is something that can be
earned with the calm and well-mannered behavior and fear can be regarded as the
terrific feeling inside the person which can be exploited everywhere at any
place.
Respect is something that we learn to earn or give
to those who deserve it. It involves regard for moral worth. Respect is not
earned by making people fear us but it is earned by showing compassion.
Sometimes people may respect someone in fear. But that respect does not involve
real feelings or compassion. This respect is temporary and continues as long as
the fear lasts. Lord Buddha was
respected by all because of his compassion not because anyone was frightened of
him. He showed his love to even his critics and his haters.
Fear and Respect are very similar feelings but these
cause a very different impacts upon people as fear leads to destruction as
respect always helps in building the personality of the person. Respect is
always associated with attraction as the respect to someone/something attracts
us to be more curious and understand its importance and values. Fear is a pure
emotion as it is simply the recognition that someone or something has the
potential to harm you, and nothing more. It does not involve the complex mix of
attraction and avoidance that respect does. It simply makes people want to get
away from the object of fear as soon as possible.
Fear and Respect are different as well as similar to each other. Hence they are always mistaken for each other. Fear is something that we feel since we were born. Respect is something we earn.
