Are there people whom you admire, but don't respect and people that you respect, yet don't admire?

Are there people whom you admire, but don't respect and people that you respect, yet don't admire? this seems more like an oxymoron

does this include disrespect???? Then can you still admire someone whom you disrespect?

Fine, let me define my terms a little better then...can you respect someone whom you do not like? Or visa versa?

Where I work at there are a lot of people whom I give respect but do not admire.

Is there such a thing as 'FORCED respect'? Sure...but that doesn't really count in what I'm going for here. But I do understand respect out of obligation or duty. Starting to think this was a bad night for this topic.

well those are different terms from the OP. i have because even though we did not agreed in our ways in managing the factory where i worked back home, he was a responsible and honorable man. we always fought about the approach towards a task. I didn't like the way managed things, he was to passive.

Starting to think this was a bad night for this topic. I wouldn't mind obliging myself of giving respect to where it is due, but,... a big major but..

not for me. if there is either admiration or respect for me there is both.

I didn't like the way managed things, he was to passive. Ok...that's kinda where I'm at. Seems to be personal conflict that keeps me from liking this person, though I have a great deal of respect for them in seemingly every other arena. It's very confusing, that! sigh

It's very confusing, that! sigh that is called human nature. people have different personalities, and we don't need to agree in every single aspect, yet if they are honorable and responsible. well we may need to see what is wrong with ourselves before overanalyzing them
