Respect the humility.

The line between respect and humility is a faint line. How do they connect and how do they differ? Respect, willingness to show consideration or appreciation. Humility, the quality or condition of being humble. So what is the difference? They both mean allowing acknowledgement of something, with the possibility lowering one's esteem yet they're both viewed completely different. Respect - something that is desired, positive, and to be protected while humility is a disgrace, it is a sign of weakness, and stupidity. Why is it? What makes one better than the other? When you respect someone, are you not setting someone as an equal when you could set yourself above them instead you're an equal. Is that not humility? You set yourself at the same level as someone, at times you even set yourself lower to per say a boss or someone with a higher status. Is that not humility and not respect? They look down upon you. There is no difference. To respect one must lower themselves to the same level, if not lower to get a better understand. By doing so, they learn and understand. That is what respect is. Respect is not some holy, bright word. It is the same as humility. One must shame themselves before being shamed.
