AGAPE'
« on: April 04, 2020, 11:21:49 am »
I love the commercial which talks about the Greeks having multiple words for love with the most meaningful being AGAPE', meaning "showing love."  To me, that means not just talking it, but behaving it.  Too bad the world doesn't remember that much more often.  Right now is a picture of how that might look.  However, I still read and hear about certain individuals and groups who seem to have no clue what that looks like and keep a negative undercurrent of dissonance going.  And it is not just a political thing, a right or left thing, but often an entitled, ignorant, or controlling thing.

I haven't seen the commercial but agree that AGAPE would be good for the world right now.

Yes, more agape love would be wonderful right now! I learned in church that it means an unconditional or self-sacrificing love. Thankfully, a lot of people are showing others a lot of brotherly love during this virus outbreak by bringing elderly neighbors food, etc.  :peace: :heart:
