Love as the highest value

Abstract

Responsible management of personal, family, social and professional life requires respecting many fundamental values, such as truthfulness, responsibility, honesty and justice. The hierarchy of values is also important, since otherwise there is a risk of absolutizing secondary values, for example, putting freedom above all other values. A mature hierarchy of values means that we put love first. This is due to the fact that being loved and responding to love with love is the most important human need and the most important test of maturity in the personal and social dimension.
