The conservative temperament, however expressed, is about love. Love for the living: family, home, country, the people right in front of us. Love for the dead: ancestors, departed countrymen, all who gave us what we have. Love for the unborn: those to whom we leave our legacy.

@NHBullmoose Hunting was for the wealthy. They don't hunt birds, they shoot them. They stand in one place while beaters drive the birds towards them. And the country in which they stalk deer isn't particularly rough. But I agree with your general point. I hunt in ordinary outdoor clothing.

Love between a husband and wife secures their children's future stable marriages, which are then passed down to grandchildren. Yes, each generation must do the work for themselves, but when you make that first stable and loving marriage, the stability can last for generations.

For many of us, the conservative temperament is about love of God, and for most of the others, a sense that there is someone or something bigger than oneself that one would like to love. Love is easy to hurt, but it cannot be destroyed. That's what's on my mind today, friends.

It's not about resentment for what others have that you don't. Not about hatred for those who disagree with you or who wish you ill. The conservative temperament can be fierce because love is fierce and true and sees with keen clarity that it is hard to build but easy to destroy.
