"愛があるべき空しい場所を覆うために尊敬が発明された"
— Leo Tolstoy

Simplified Meaning:
Respect often fills the gap when there's no love between people. Think about colleagues at work who don’t know each other well. They might not have a strong friendship or deep feelings for one another, but they show respect to ensure things run smoothly. It's like using politeness to keep peace when there's no deeper connection. This can be necessary in many social situations, like between acquaintances or in professional settings, where warmth and affection aren't present but mutual respect keeps interactions positive. By maintaining respect, people avoid conflict and can interact cooperatively, even without an emotional bond.
