To start spiritual and end carnal is foolishness. Having a good intention of making friends is a spiritual start to a spiritual process but ending it by being nervous is foolishness because nervousness is a carnal end to the spiritual process.
Galatians 3:3 "Are you so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are you now made perfect by the flesh?"

1John 4:8 He that loves not knows not God; for God is love.
Joh 14:6 God who is Christ is love. Christ who is love is also the way the truth and the life. Love is therefore the true way of living successfully.
