You are right,โ he had said. โLove is not the word. No one can love his neighbor. Say, rather, โKnow thy neighbor as thyself.โ That is, comprehend his hardships and understand his position, deal with his faults as gently as with your own. Do not judge him where you do not judge yourself. Madame, this is the meaning of the word love.
