Pronounced ah-gah-pey, this is a Greek word for love that means brotherly love for another without any sexual implications. I have always liked how this word flows from my mouth as I say it. Knowing the meaning of the word also makes it my favorite word. My dad is a Christian minister and carpenter. He always stressed to me that this kind of love is the most important kind of love there is, for this kind of love will cause one to lay down one’s life for another. To think, if everyone practiced this kind of love, an unconditional and automatic feeling, toward everyone then the whole world could unite in a loving brotherhood. The world would then be a truly peaceful place.
