How to contribute to "your blog"...
Here's the deal. This section is intented to be your blog. That's it, I will have many of my relatives and friends invited to contribute to this section. The subjects can vary a lot and don't need to be technical at all. The language used will preferably be English but eventually we might have texts in other languages. I can also attach pictures or videos to the entries if necessary. I will eventually copy/paste interesting blogs here and will include a link to the original post.
If you wish to contribute with a text please let me know. I'm looking forward to your contributions!
Love
Most of us would agree that Love is one of the most challenging words to be defined in our vocabulary. In Greek, in order to express love there will be necessary many different words such as: Eros, Storgé, Philos, Agapé. Eros stands for love based on sexual attraction and burning desire whereas Storgé means affection, especially for family and friends. As for Philos, the reciprocal and fraternal love and finally for Agapé, the unconditional love. That's the Love I want to discuss with you!
Agapé is an unconditional love that simply expresses the servant and caring behavior to others expecting nothing from them. This is the deliberate choice love where you chose to care for others no matter what would be their responses or reactions. Summing up, this is a love based on choice and behavior and not on feelings. I might not control my bad feelings about someone else however I can control my behavior towards this person. As an example, you might have to deal with some hard people on your job being patient, honest and respectful with them although they might choose to bad behave.
No shadow of doubt, this is the hardest way of love to be put into practice although this is also the most needed way of love in our world nowadays. Hopefully we have someone who was the master in practicing it. I want to challenge you to research about this issue and to show me who would be him and what would be some of the examples he left us with for learning about this so especial love.
