The Ramchal continues to teach us that it is not just fear that is important – in other words to fear God, but rather, we must also learn what love is i.e. to love God. These are both activities that require much effort. One doesn’t come to them by simply knowing they exist. Rather, one must work on oneself, consider the importance of life and ourselves, so that we develop our character traits in a fitting manner.
As we learn more about these wonderful attributes, we start to realise how important they are, and eventually, we can be become so excited, that these good traits can influence ourselves further and even spread out to affecting others too.
