There are several kinds of love. One is a selfish, mean, grasping, egotistical thing which uses love for self-importance. This is the ugly and crippling kind. The other is an outpouring of everything good in you β of kindness and consideration and respect β not only the social respect of manners but the greater respect which is recognition of another person as unique and valuable.
