"We always love those who admire us, but we do not always love those whom we admire."

"We always love those who admire us, but we do not always love those whom we admire."

I think this quote means that, when their is a person that thinks we are "all that" or just important, or even gives a small compliment, it makes our day, it makes you feel good about yourself.

When you think of jealousy, does a certain person come to mind? That's what my perspective is on the end of the quote. "but we do not always love whom we admire."

We may admire a certain person for their confidence or their looks, but even though we may have that feeling towards someone, does not mean we "like" them.

When i think about the quote, it's not actually a good thing. It's actually wrong. Why do we, as humans, think it's okay to love people who love us, but if we admire others we can feel jealous and concieted.  It's not right, that's why this quote made me think.
