AC 3066 - that which is loved

AC 3066
No one is ever instructed by means of truths,
but by means of the affections of truth;
for truths apart from affection
do indeed come to the ear as sound,
but do not enter into the memory;
that which causes them to enter into the memory
and to abide in it, is affection.
For the good of affection is like soil,
in which truths are sown as seeds;
but such as the soil is (that is, such as the affection is),
such is the produce of that which is sown.
The end or use determines the quality of the soil,
or of the affection,
and thus the quality of the produce of what is sown;
or, if you prefer to say so, 
the love itself determines it;
for in all things the love is the end and the use,
for nothing is regarded as the end and use
except that which is loved.
