Dr. Karl Menninger, the often quoted authority on mental illness, said, "Love is the medicine for our sick old world."  Few would disagree!  Yet it is one thing to love the masses of the world--say, for example, China with its 1.4 billion people, and another thing to love the Chinese family who owns the local hardware store. Soren Kierkegaard wisely points out the fact that there is nothing in the Bible about loving man in the mass--only clear commands about loving individuals.
