Talking of respect, isn't it equally idiotic to attach such importance to a lot of empty gestures which do nobody any good? For what real pleasure can you get out of the sight of a bared head or a bent knee? Will it cure the rheumatism in you own knee, or make you any less weak in the head?
Of ourse, the great believers in this type of artificial pleasure are those who pride themselves on their 'nobility'. Nowadays that merely means tghat they happen to belong to a family which has been rich for several generations, preferably in landed property. And yet they feel every bit as 'noble' even if they've failed to inherit any of the said property, or if they have inherited it and then frittered it all away.
