"We are not for names, nor men, nor titles of Government, nor are we for this party nor against the other...but we are for justice and mercy and truth and peace and true freedom, that these may be exalted in our nation, and that goodness, righteousness, meekness, temperance, peace and unity with God, and with one another, that these things may abound." Edward Borrough, member of Friends for Truth (Quaker), 1672.

I'd say that all versions of religious love, so to speak, consist of universal love. Freud thought that a love that loved irrespective of the beloved's qualities devalued the very idea of love.

Yet the idea of universal love has had perennial appeal. I'd say it speaks to something in us that's profound.
