Agape* (ἀγάπη, agápē) is pure love or the highest form of love. It entwines a universal, unconditional love that transcends all barriers and when we think it can't, it still does. The goes as far back as Homer, translated literally as affection, as in "greet with affection" and "show affection for the dead." (Soble, 30.)

This is because we all inhabit the same area, relatively speaking, and life forms are frail and often break and are destroyed. Living like this is desirable, as it would mean, that the life that we often have control or influence over wouldn’t be taken for granted. When we look at how nature in different parts of the world are treated, such as clear cutting forests that dramatically damage

Some of the major religions practice some form of meditation. Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, and Christianity all have some form of meditation within this religion. These major religions are all unique in their own way and have their own way of meditation
animosity Wish each other harm”(Metta Sutta, SN 1. 8). This explains how The Buddha feels and this quote describes how the ideal way of love should live with peace and no should have any strong hostility towards them.

It’s a hot day, an unbearably hot day. You decide that the only thing that can cure the heat is something cool. You want something cold. You want ice cream. You spy an ice cream stand, and reach towards your pocket for your wallet. The corners of your mouth tug upwards at the feel of the cool metal against your hand—only for the smile to drop suddenly off your face as you gaze up then contents of your wallet. There is no money; there is only a slight amount of lint and a gift card for a massage.
