Just heard on TV I can do without love but I can't de without respect. I am a man and people must respect my leadership.
First I understood but then I thought - why wouldn't people don't love you?
Let's see qualities we don't love in people and can we respect them if they have those qualities for which we don't love them?
Like lying leader. I don't love him being a liar. Must I respect his leadership?

I don't love nor respect liars. There are certainly some qualities in people that I can respect but not love them. I respect people who speak their mind, even if they do it in ways that some might find offensive...doesn't mean I love them. I can respect people who sleep around with lots of others if they're honest about it, doesn't mean I love them. I respect people who are ambitious, though I may not love them and think their priorities do not align with mine.

Can't you just be indifferent?

I don't HAVE to respect people who tell the truth, but I do.

I respect many people I don't love or even like. Take an auto mechanic you can respect that he knows more about cars and trucks than you and is one of the best in his field but not care for him as a person and think he smells like oil and his fingernails are dirty. I respect people like police officers without wanting to get to know them, I respect they have authority to write tickets or even arrest people. I respect our military men and woman it doesn't mean I have even met them or would want them to have power to enter our homes without being invited we still need a well armed militia to prevent abuse.
