7081. A person's life consists essentially of his love, and what his love is like determines what his life, indeed his entire personality is like. It is however the dominant or ruling love in him, that is, his love of whatever he sees as his chief objective, that molds his character. That love has numerous particular and specific forms of love deriving from it and subordinate to it. And although these may take on a different appearance from the dominant love it is nevertheless present in each one. It directs them, and it employs them as intermediate objectives in looking towards and aiming at its own objective, which is the first and last of all. This it does in both direct and indirect ways.
