It is only our bad temper that we put down to being tired or worried or hungry; we put our good temper down to ourselves.

‎"Don't bother too much about your feelings. When they are humble, loving, brave, give thanks for them; when they are conceited, selfish, cowardly, ask to have them altered. In neither case are they you, but only a thing that happens to you. What matters is your intentions and your behavior

Do not waste time bothering whether you "love" your neighbor; act as if you did.
