I would lie because there's a purpose to the lie, not because of the person's place in some societal hierarchy. I might feel more guilt upon lying to someone I respected over someone I didn't respect, but that plays into the cognitive dissonance of telling the lie in the first place and is assumed in the cost of lying.
Here you're conflating respect with power again. I thought we were past that.
If you're frightened of dying, and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the Earth.
