If they push too hard, they’ll feel like takers, rather than givers. But when givers are advocating for someone else, pushing is closely aligned with their values of protecting and promoting the interests of others: givers can chalk it up to caring.

Give and Take
Adam M. Grant Ph.D.
Every human love, at its height, has a tendency to claim for itself a divine authority. Its voice tends to sound as if it were the will of God Himself.

That erotic love and love of one’s country may thus attempt to ‘become gods’ is generally recognised.
