I can agree with Mark to a degree. I think the litmus test I am using is to separate those for whom I have a general esteem and those for whom I have a personal attachment. I would like to think I would run into that building for a stranger who needed my help. I think that stems from the love I have for people in general and the respect and esteem which I hold for life. But that feeling is different from the feeling I have for those specific people I mentioned in my earlier post. Perhaps it is just a difference in intensity as Mark says.
