There are things you can love. It might sound silly unless you've climbed mountains in the winter, but I love my ice axe. It's let me go places I'd never be able to go otherwise. That said, it is different from the love I have for people. When my son was young and would treat people poorly over things, I told him there are three kinds of things we can love: people, places, and things. When there's any conflict, the priority should almost always be in that order.
