I think how Jesus defines that term does violence to your unsubstantial point.
Furthermore, we can turn to JP Holding's cartoons for a definition of love or we can allow Christ to define it by His actions on the Cross.
No enemy I have will be less deserving of my love than I was of Christ's love.
While we were yet enemies of God He sent His Son to die the most injust/unfair/ridiculous death so that by that sacrifice He could work the miracle of redemption.
I think He calls us to follow that example - to participate in sharing genuine self-sacrificial love with those who deserve it the least.
If we believe Christ's sacrificial love worked a miracle of change in our lives why not believe that if we follow Christ's example that blessings will follow?
