You are on point, "if respect is reciprocal, then love should be reciprocated too",
We live in a society where love is nicely arranged on the shelves of expensive stores, and "I love you" has become so cheap and common that it is said even after a one-night stand instead of a "goodbye, we will not I'll never see you again"
