We receive love~from our children as well as others~not in proportion to our demands or sacrifices or needs, but roughly in proportion to our own capacity to love. And our capacity to love depends, in turn upon our prior capacity to be person in our own right. "To love means essentially to give, and to give requires a maturity of self-feeling. Love is shown in the statement of Spinoza's . . . that truly loving God does not involve a demand for love in return. It is the attitude referred to by the artist Joseph Bender: "To produce art requires that the artist be able to love~that is to give without thought of being rewarded."
