I cannot respect what I do not understand. Love without knowledge is natural, it is instinct instantly and a reaction. No harm in that and no peace too. It is tense and thrilling. Mountain is not instinct and so is not the ocean. Universe, life, wisdom, poetry, discovery, philosophy, they all are out comes of a spark that is similar to love which is based on instincts. Yet the identity is the mountain or universe not the spark. It is you that is the identity not the moment that makes you. After some time your knowledge becomes you, your thought becomes you. What you understand, not out of immediate reaction, but for what you have learnt from the time of your era, becomes you. And then you respect your complete self made up of all that you are.
