King Solomon, peace be upon him, said (Proverbs 12, 1): "A person who loves to receive criticism, also loves knowledge". In other words, a loving person will of his own accord seek self-rebuke and knowledge. Also (Proverbs, 22, 11): "The refined speech of a sincere friend will gain him the affection [even] of king". The loving person will be clearly seen by all to be pure-hearted and soft-spoken, whose actions and friendship are untainted. In King Solomon's book The Song of Songs, the virtue of love is repeatedly emphasized. Concerning his friend (Song of Songs 3, 10): "His inner-self is paved with love". Our Sages of blessed memory said (Talmud Bavli, treatise Sanhedrin 105b): "It is learned in the name of Rabbi Shimon ben Elazar that love overturns the rules of importance, as it is said about Abraham (Genesis 22, 3) 'And Abraham rose early in the morning and saddled his donkey'." Which means that love is the foremost of the virtues, since it cancels and removes self-importance, the major of all flaws; love will also refine the heart and prepare the loving person to behave with alacrity and integrity. For we see that our patriarch Abraham, who has been called "Abraham His loving one", because of his love for his Creator, was not concerned about his personal honor and saddled his donkey himself¹. Thus, if one wants to know the difference between the effect of good traits and bad traits, he should first examine whether what he desires to do is motivated by the virtue of love. And in this way (see Proverbs 14, 15) the wise person will weigh up each of his steps, in every action and decision, whether it is good or bad.
