Alright folks, i've got one for ya. Simply put: can a person love and care for the well being of other people without liking other people?
Elaboration: Can a person love and care for the well being of other people though they have little interest in being around other people, don't necessarily want to get to know other people, and may not even like other people in general?
Would this be an irreconcilable contradiction, maybe an excuse to feel better about a sort of misanthropy, perhaps, or do you think these sort of qualities can coexist within a person quite naturally?
In this context, I will define "Like" as:
Verb
Find agreeable, enjoyable, or satisfactory.
And I will define "Love" simply in the open unconditional sense, not wishing harm and caring for one's well being.
Answers and discussion will be appreciated!
