Can too much respect be bad?

[Rev. Rye]

Do you think that there is such a thing as too much respect and/ or is it a bad thing to respect someone too much?

To me it seems that it is a bad thing and the best example are religious leaders or clergy. It seems that religious people respect them too much that they get away with taking their money, living in huge mansions and castles while saying that they are humble and even having sex with their kids.

So it seems it's not good to respect someone too much, to the point that you don't ever question that person, never look at that person critically.

Or maybe something else is going on?

I think the word you’re looking for is power. It’s power that lets them do what they want, it’s power that inures them to shit like this, and it’s power that makes scumbags gravitate towards positions like that.
