Hi 03
I think its good to remember the difference between like and love. I’ve always thought that it was a good thing that the ask was to ‘Love one neighbor as oneself’ and not ‘Like one neighbor as oneself’ as it it always possible to Love someone (or ones pets) in those moments when you don’t like them. (even when Love requires a relationship to end)
I might argue that it is precisely in those moments of dislike when we lean on Love.
Liking and disliking will always ebb and flow while Love is the one thing that can be practiced as a constant.
