Then bowing shouldn't necessary be a skill even though one still have learn to bow depending on cultural etiquette

Exactly.

Bowing is not a skill, per se. It's a follow-up reaction that comes with the virtue of humility.

You bow to show humility; you bow to show submission, also.

That is, in general, bowing– as a mode of response– flows naturally when your heart is in a state of meekness. You don't have to learn it.

Na, not all. I did read a very good book on them though, to get a general idea of their use as a learning and teaching tool.

Most times it doesn't flow naturally. . We become slaves to it, based on obligation as a slave that we are. . (Please I might be seeing this from another pespective)

Respect is earned and fear, enforced.

Nonetheless, they both serve a singular endgoal: to create a god-like expression and appear exemplary.

Fear and respect do most definitely not serve the same purpose and the endgoal is not the same, though, the Nigerian mentality is prone to think they do due to their use in archaic religious texts and our inability to evolve and update.

Fear is for something one is afraid of, like a snake or a God that would burn one in hell or a tyrannical parent or someone pointing a gun at one.

Respect is for someone one reveres and holds in high regard, like a loving parent or a good wife or one's friend or even one's child.

A person feared is not exemplary. And once they lose what makes them fearful (i.e. their gun), they usually become unfeared and disrespected. While a person is respected usually because of something exemplary (a good or desirable quality) that they may possess.

Fear is used to acquire respect.

Case study: Adolf Hitler, Idi Amin and Osama Bin Laden.

Now, if you agree to the initial postulation, you'd consider/support the case study and vice versa.

On the other hand, respect, as you rightly said, is earned as a result of an admirable quality (which is mostly innate and not easily disposed of).

So, my drive?

A person who's respected earns the unbridled loyalty of the admirer while a person who's feared enjoys similar allegiance.

Significantly also, the two feelings (fear and respect) provide both the respected and the feared some relevance.

This leaves the only difference to be the means of acquisition, nothing else.

Really? Not many respected those you mentioned. Not many feared them much neither come to talk of it, and just feared the evil and destruction they may do.

Perhaps define what you mean by respect.

Wrong mistake

Truly nothing like family(i missed mine tho) . Who you don't know, you truly don't know. Nothing on earth could give that satisfaction, but it is all a phase. Although it might seem like everything is bleak now.


Hold on tight. .. never give up.. suffer the pains.. endure the insults.. tolerate the jobs..



People can never be you. Patience is expensive and humility is priceless


Stay strong
