Patriotic love is finite; the love of one's country causing hatred of all others, is not perfect love! Compatriots also are not free from quarrels amongst themselves. (36:4) The love of race is limited; there is some union here, but that is insufficient. Love must be free from boundaries! (36:5) To love our own race may mean hatred of all others, and even people of the same race often dislike each other. (36:6) Political love also is much bound up with hatred of one party for another; this love is very limited and uncertain. (36:7) The love of community of interest in service is likewise fluctuating; frequently competitions arise, which lead to jealousy, and at length hatred replaces love.
(36:8)
