“It’s certainly true that the concept of respect differs from person to person, without even taking into consideration culture or anything else.” There were people who believed their position meant they deserved more respect, or meant that they didn’t have to give it to others. There were those who thought of it as a duty, an obligation. Triton didn’t think of it that way…..and unless proven otherwise, everyone deserved it. Some, he could well admit, more than others.
