Okay, let me make sure I understand what you are saying.
Are you saying that there is no opposite of love? When I am talking about the privation of love and its existence, I am saying that there is an opposite to love, which is its absence. What I am interpreting your statement to mean is that you don't believe that love can be absent at all. If that is the case, then it is impossible to be unethical, (assuming that you said earlier that reflecting love is the ethical responsibility). If it is impossible, then can we really call it an ethical responsibility? Instead, we come back to what I was saying earlier, which is that you are using ethical responsibility as a synonym for
necessity.
As far as the "using love to perfect" thing, I don't know your definition of perfection, though it seems that you see perfection as unity based on your posts. I don't see how loving inanimate objects would make them any more perfect though.
