What is left of a "person" to me if excluding those?

Loving someone for, e.g., what they believe in, what they stand for, and how they treat people are examples of love that stems from a deeper understanding of a person’s values, habits, and personality than just loving them one-dimensionally for their wealth or a particular thing they’re well known for. I think that’s what they’re getting at.

I think nothing is left for another person to love if you take away everything they do, have and how they appear. Because that is all you can ever know about another person.
But I now understand what you wrote as "I love you now, as you are, as a person and not just any one particular thing you do" and to that I agree.
Edit: I think I misread "anything" as "everything"
