   of all is to love God and all of humankind. People can't love on command, we   
   either do or we don't. Gene Scott often said that love and hate are not   
   opposites, but the opposite    
   of both is indifference. I agree, I wonder where he read that. It's probably   
   easier to genuinely love if one can remember having been Bathing at Baxter's!   
   When most people say they love God, they speak in terms of what God does for   
   them, has done for them, and/or what they hope God will do for them. I don't   
   know how often any of us love God simply because God is Beautiful, is Beauty   
   itself. I myself spend    
   way too much time thinking of my own wretchedness and the wretchedness of   
   others.   
      
   Think of a child who loves their parents. Yes their parents do everything for   
   them, but that's not why they love their parents. They simply do.
