Some one dear to one can be loved with human love; but an enemy can only be loved with divine love.

Summary

This quote suggests that while it is natural for us to love those who are dear to us through normal human emotions, loving an enemy requires a higher form of love — a divine love. It implies that loving our adversaries goes beyond what we are naturally inclined to do and requires compassion, forgiveness, and a higher sense of understanding. Loving our enemies challenges us to rise above our differences and biases, offering them grace and compassion despite conflicts or grievances.
