evidence: It is the second part that strikes me. Should esteem always include love, too? Isn't that too much to ask? [...] Esteem of yourself should have love because your ego will be languid and cold. Right? [...] I find it quite natural to also feel love for some of the people I respect, if what they express or do is something that I understand or feel somewhat akin to. For the others, it's just respect. I can't see how you can love (strangers) without understanding. That is why I think that Swift places an exceptionally high demand on us, mere mortals. It takes great understanding and wisdom to also love all those whom you have esteem for. Or, it could only be fulfilled by Christian love.
