"Elder Oaks and Elder Whatsisface love you, even though they don't care enough to learn anything about what you're going through. Or feel any real empathy whatsoever. Or acknowledge your existence. Or treat you like adults. But they <i>WUV</i> you, really!"<br/><br/>I was just thinking of these fake kinds of love today, about missionaries who come home from wherever, Swaziland, and they're like, "I love the people of Swaziland. They are so [adjective] and [adjective] and ready for the Gospel." I mean, how many people did you meet on your mission that you can say you "love" all the people from that area, or that entire <i>country</i>? Generalizations like that are belittling, not flattering.
