Foo - What is your Agape?

Definition according to Dictionary.com :

1: (Greek) love (especially love that is spiritual and selfless in nature)

People that are overwhelmed or helpless. That's why I like being around heavy trauma in the hospital, the people there are so in need and so deserving of good care.

Ehhhh... I'm not really into Greek Love.

Ehhhh... I'm not really into Greek Love.
I'm into greek yogurt, does that count?

Siu, you sure you're not an English teacher out to improve our collective vocabulary? :p

When I was in college I had a book entitled: The Magic Mushroom Agape

Mine is the Ocean. It's a place where I:

- play
- compete
- harvest/hunt for food
- find solitude, comraderie, peace
- become one with the elements
- battle with the elements
- learn about its ways
- learn about myself
- become humbled and strenghtened

I'm into greek yogurt, does that count?
Greek Yogurt is a byproduct of Greek Love. So, yes, that does count.

Wow, that was ill! :eek:

my wife is part greek, does that count?

Wow, that was ill! :eek:
Hey, I'm not the one who brought up Greek Love.

Greek love is great for a non-receptive point of view.

Only if we count Feta too. :D

Hmm, so that what Agape means. I thought it's some sort of Christian thing, because I always see that word around churches and stuff.

How do you pronounce it?
a-gape
a-ga-pee
a-gap

ah-gop-pay

Teaching...but I refuse to do it professionally....I can be a bit tempermental at times, so I think classroom stuff is a no go for me.

I love it when I get to enrich someone's mind.

another love thread? nope... not participating... no love here for anyone to see.. keep moving..

I got taken...

Killing.

The woman whose siren's song I can't resist. Leading me to my destruction just as the legend foretells.

Only if we count Feta too. :D

Chedda is good...but Feta is BETTA! :)

St. Francis de Sales:

"There is nothing is so strong as gentleness; nothing so gentle as real strength."

"Have patience with everyone. Above all, have patience with yourself."

Chedda is good...but Feta is BETTA! :)

I like to give cheese to people who don't have any. "Here, my friend... That's nacho cheese, but you can have it any way."

hahahahahahahaha

eucharisto soi for the Greek reference. Greek from the Koine (hellenestic) period was my academic specialty while doing my Master's degree. Agape (and the other words for love) are often used synonomously in literature, but I'll go ahead and bite. My agape is to seek the good of someone else even at my own expense and pain (emotional and/or physical). So when a husband is telling his wife, I love you, he's saying, "I desire your good at my own expense." A friend of mine responded with, "I will your good", when his now wife first told him that she loved him while they were dating.

Yeah, my dog Melvin is the first one to come to mind. We can read each other's minds. Seriously. I've always thought of him as a little brother.
