Question

Do you think the phrase "respect begets respect" is inherently conditional? Is it implicit of a misplaced locus of control, contrary to the self-control associated with Sophrosyne?

Answer 1

Answer:

yes

Explanation:

First, note that the phrase  "respect begets respect" in simple words implies that a condition to give or receive respect is that the other needs to respect so they can also earn respect from another; hence, it is inherently conditional.

It is not implicit of a misplaced locus of control because the locus of control is merely a belief that one can control his or her situations or experiences that can affect their lives.
