(~) Love in the Abstract
Dorothy Day
It is not love in the abstract that counts. Men have loved a cause as they
have loved a woman. They have loved the brotherhood, the workers, the
poor, the oppressed--but they have not loved man; they have not loved the
least of these. They have not loved "personally." It is hard to love. It
is the hardest thing in the world, naturally speaking. Have you ever read
Tolstoy¹s Resurrection? He tells of political prisoners in a long prison
train, enduring chains and persecution for the love of their brothers,
ignoring those same brothers on the long trek to Siberia. It is never the
brothers right next to us, but the brothers in the abstract that are easy
to love
