Respect and admiration have elements of fear involved?.....or perhaps it is admiration that has elements of envy?
Another such emotion to mention here is awe. It has elements of fear.Respect in particular seems to have something of a hard exterior.
The thing that distinguishes gratitude is its openness. Maybe gratitude wants nothing.
It's a very easy state to be in once you get there.Envy up one end, gratitude up the other, rather like heaven and hell.
