Yes it does. If, in my better moments, something like love^ care, well- wishing, and desire for union order and animate my words and deeds as I respond to my son, then my endurance of his objectionable differences will obviously show signs of love’s effects. That said, I don’t want to retreat from the claims made in chapter 3. The endurance described there was, in object, an act of tolerance. It was due my son regardless of the love that I have for him. Moreover, it was ordered to the just ends that the tolerant intend, and it was offered without hope for the difference endured to pass. If, as we have said, actions and virtues are specified by their formal objects and proximate ends, then this act of patient endurance belongs to tolerance, the virtue annexed to justice. It is not an act of forbearance, the virtue that perfects and sustains ordinary friendships.
