IN Jefferson’s context, if people respect others, he will be respected too. I agree, and I believe the lowest common denominator that humans have is respect for might. I don’t respect might at all. Sorry, your premise fails. I follow the law by fear of community and government power. Otherwise I have no problem killing, robbing or vandalizing. “Nothing is more despicable than respect based on fear.” ~ Albert Camus “Wicked men obey out of fear; good men, out of love.” ~ Aristotle “Unthinking respect for authority is the greatest enemy of truth.” ~ Albert Einstein ===================================== “The best political weapon is the weapon of terror. Cruelty commands respect. Men may hate us. But, we don’t ask for their love; only for their fear.” ~ Heinrich Himmler AKA Josh_LA. “Happiness is an expression of the soul in considered actions.” ~ Aristotle i.e Piece of shit actions; piece of shit soul.
