"The rule for us all is perfectly simple. Do not waste time bothering whether you 'love' your neighbor; act as if you did. As soon as we do this we find one of the great secrets. When you are behaving as if you loved someone, you will presently come to love him."
-C. S. Lewis

The goal is complete love. At first, start showing care to others by performing small actions, even as simple as saying hello. Remember that complete love is universal - do not exclude anyone from receiving this amity, even strangers you may cross or enemies you may have. Live in the now and judge not. Build upon these actions slowly but consistently. Go out of your way to be of help and spread happiness. Be constantly trying to think of the welfare of others just as much as or more than your own. Once enough effort has been put into the goal, your mind will open and take a hold of the positivity that results from it. Giving will become a constant crave. Personal sacrifice will become a willing habit. In the end, you will surely have love and respect for others regardless of the feelings they may have for you.
