She was displaying her iconoclastic nature. She later admitted she would have to agree that love is the highest value of all values.
Are you trying to get me to be more clear or trying to get me to proof-text the thing?
How about this?
If you want to love more and better you will look for ways to do so.
If you want to see others more clearly you will clean your eyes and move closer to them so you can see them and they can see you better.
And whether or not you love others, you are loved – by God and other people. Lots of people love you and lots of people believe that you love them.

And how do I know if I have “true” eyes? If I don’t feel love for others does that mean I don’t have love and therefore am not loved?
