Love has been falsified as a giving of oneself (and as altruism), whereas it is a taking in addition, or a giving away that follows from an over-abundance of personality. Only the most whole person can love; the depersonalised, the 'objective' ones are the worst lovers (- ask the ladies). The same applies to love of God, or of the 'fatherland': one must be firm and steady on one's feet.
