Get Others To Love

The Rambam teaches that the way to fulfill the mitzva of loving your friend is by PRAISING him [deyos 6/3]. Why is this the example given by the Rambam?

The Rambam says that the way to show your love of Hashem is by encouraging others to love him as well [Sefer Hamitzvos 4]. We see that according to the Rambam the ideal external expression of the internal feeling of love for another is to try to get others "on board" to feel the love as well. So with love of Hashem and so with love of other people.

A new insight into ahavas chaveirim. Try to get other people to love them as well.

Ever thought of that???

What's a Mevakesh for??:-)
