For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do

Summary

This quote suggests that loving someone who loves you back does not bring any real reward, as even tax collectors - typically seen as the morally corrupt - are capable of loving those who love them. It implies that true love goes beyond reciprocation and requires going beyond societal norms. It encourages individuals to love and show kindness even in challenging or unexpected circumstances, as that is what sets genuine love apart and rewards the person expressing it.
