In Honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Agape 💜

Agape means understanding,
redeeming good will for all men.
It is an overflowing love
which is purely spontaneous,
unmotivated, groundless, and creative.
It is not set in motion by any quality
or function of its object.
Agape is disinterested love.
It is a love in which the individual seeks
not his own good,
but the good of his neighbor.
Agape does not begin by discriminating
between worthy and unworthy people,
or any qualities people possess.
It begins by loving others for their sakes.
It is an entirely “neighbor-regarding concern for others,”
which discovers the neighbor
in every man it meets.
Therefore, agape makes no distinction
between friends and enemy;
it is directed toward both.

(1929-1968, Minister and Activist)

Thank you for sharing this, I haven't given it the appreciation it has deserved prior.

For those that are better listeners than readers, I wanted to contribute a video.
