It is true that we are commanded to love and honor others, and it is likely true that Carol fails always to do that - just as you and I fail. But what's false is this idea that you or I deserve that love and devotion - that we are somehow entitled to it. The truth is that there is only one thing we truly deserve, and that's to be sent to hell - you, Carol, me, Jonah, Nineveh, all of us. Love and salvation are gifts. How grateful we should be to receive them in any measure!
