![“[T]he content of the discourse should be about loving the un-lovable object… The beloved and the friend are the immediate and direct objects of immediate love, the choice of passion and of inclination. And what is the ugly? It is the neighbor, whom one shall love (373).” quote by Kierkegaard, Søren](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/261/kierkegaard-s-ren-57915_happiness_t-he-content-of-the-discourse-should-be_1945411.jpg)
