The mind, or intellect, plays a role because a person who loves does this with his eyes open, recognizing that he and other humans that he loves all have weaknesses as well as attractive qualities.
Mõistusel ehk intellektil on oma osa, sest inimene, kes armastab, teeb seda „lahtiste silmadega ”. Ta saab aru, et nii tal endal kui ka teistel inimestel, keda ta armastab, on omad nõrkused ja kütkestavad omadused.
