It's a question I've explored in my work and in my TEDx talk, "The Ripple Effect of Respect." Respect can also mean recognizing authority, honouring another person's boundaries, or simply giving someone the space that belongs to them. This kind of respect lives less in what we say we believe, and more in the ordinary moments between us. We make deposits or withdrawals in one another's emotional reserves. Did I add something to another person's emotional reserve, or take something away?
