The truly wide taste in humanity will similarly find something to appreciate in the cross-section of humanity whom one has to meet every day. In my experience it is Affection that creates this taste, teaching us first to notice, then to endure, then to smile at, then to enjoy, and finally to appreciate, the people who 'happen to be there.'...Affection can love the unattractive:God and His saints love the unlovable. Affection...turns a blind eye to faults, revives easily after quarrels...Affection opens our eye to goodness we could not have seen, or should not have appreciated without it.
