Do individuals learn to respect out of love or fear or is it truly a combination plan? For example if there was no ultimate punishments would people follow G-D with a closer eye or look away? Is it necessary to actual fire individuals for them to show respect to the nation and position they are privileged to have? Does a parent need to show a belt before a child learns who really is in charge in their household? Could actual love cause us instead to act in a way that is truly respectful and stand up for one and all? I believe the time when love becomes that motivating force is the time when we truly have nothing to fear.
