Or maybe you're associating respect with prestige.
Just because you 'deserve' something doesn't mean you'll always get it.
In this context, prestige and respect are nearly synonymous.
One doesn't go w/o accompanying the other.

I'm a chef. I understand the importance of the less prestigious jobs out there, and have come to respect them more for their work.

But atm, I'm stereotyping the typical american view point.

In the darkness under the moon he plots
In the silence of the night he kills.
