Why is learning that love is respect important?

Answer

You cannot truly love if you have no respect for yourself or for others. You cannot possibly love someone whom you do not respect. If someone thinks that they can, they are fooling themselves. If you are in a relationship and there is no respect for each other, I do not believe that true love exists in that relationship. So...learning that love is respect is important because love or any kind of relationship cannot survive if respect is not present on both sides.
