Love is considered to be a deep feeling or an intense affection that you feel for something or somebody. A spy can be said to be a person working for another individual that gathers information on something to then give it back to the individual that the spy is working for. A spy and love, by definition, do not compare to each other for several reasons but they are considered to be a type of brother and sister. Can a spy ever truly love? Is a spy capable of trust? These are opinion related questions that allow you to look deeper into the relationship a spy has with another, so called important person in that spy’s life.

A local spy deceives people with kindness. “Spies cannot be properly managed without benevolence and straightforwardness (39).”This is an inward spy perfectly described by Sun Tzu. This is the type of spy that will love you until you love them back. This type of spy will make you trust them and believe in. They expect you to be straight forward with them.
