You're right, I do.

This in particular hit me:

We care about those things that arouse our admiration, whether aesthetic or moral, and feel called upon to cultivate
them or defend them. Love arises from the sentiment of admiration, and those things we do not love directly, we
love for the sake of something we value, as when we cherish keepsakes.

Love seems to be as central to the development of a fully formed person as the urge to understand things.....


I'd never thought of the concept of caring and admiration in those terms. A very original and interesting series of thoughts. Is this from a manuscript you've written?
