Meaning crisis Study group

• Looking at the three Greek definitions of love (Eros - consuming, Filia - cooperation, Agape - creation and open future). I gained understanding that Jesus’ core Christian message to “forgive” was largely misinterpreted. Not to move on from the others wrong doing, but instead defined as follows:

Forgive

• to give
• with no expectation of repayment,
• and furthermore, to give the salient landscape to the other
• for their own transcendence
• out of love
• for the other and their arena,
• being a process that is said to not fail.

Salient questions

• How does this compare to the term ‘Unconditional love’?
• Does the natural facets of being a person struggle with the process of Agape?
• Is the process term Agape a good fit for the term ‘God’?
• Insights easily become ideologies, with the vulnerability to create a frame. Is there a formulaic process to balance the pursuing and immersion of an insight and the de-centralisation of it to open room for creation?
• Was the pressure to upkeep the arena of Roman alpha-male dominance setting the scene for self-deceptive hope for the less advantaged? Or was the message of participatory agape love plausible?
