What is a synonym for the word "love?"

In the story, "The Valiant Woman" by J. J. Power, we find that in judging people we overlook most of the characteristics that draw us to him, but we do so without realizing it. You can draw inaccurate conclusions about a person by misjudging their facial expressions, their physical stamina, and their obvious personality traits/heredity. When people are blinded by false superiority, they judge a person incorrectly because they fail to see them as they really are.
