[quote]I agree that the extent of love and fear can vary from person to person. Your conclusion is also appreciated and agreed on. I will only want to add one thing. Having some characteristics innately or as an essential offshot of something does not mean you cannot/should not change them. For instance, a person, who tends to lose temper very easily, can only change if he is convinced that losing temper is wrong and is determined to change it. He will definitely develop the virtue of patience and staying power over time. Similarly, whoever is intellectually convinced that he should maintain a balance between love of God and fear of Him will achieve this end over time. Being offshots of the belief will not hinder this change. Love of Him should not cause you leave for Jungles and fear of Him should not cause you lose hope. You only keep this fact in mind and desist every notion that goes against it. You will find yourself living a balanced life. This is how I think this balance can be 'sought'. [/quote]
