Love vs. Respect

I would very much rather have respect from a person because respect can some day turn into love. There are many situations where you can love a person and have barely any respect for them. The thing about love is that it’s so easy to say but how often does it really come around. I know that sounds sort of contradicting, because people tend to want what they cant have most of the time. With that being said you can’t really tell whether love is genuine sometimes, it might seem real but our judgement gets fogged when love is involved. I also feel like respect is not as temporary as love either. Once you receive respect from a person its hard to lose that.
