Aloysius Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 No greater love has man than this, to lay down is life for is friends. the love that leads to the sacrifice of one's own life for another is the greatest love on earth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aloysius Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 i assumed that by "on earth" add was trying to indicate "other than divine love", so even though the crucifixion was indeed "on earth", I didn't specifically say that but stuck to general self-sacrificial love, when someone actually lays down their life for someone else, that is real love. that kind of absolute altruism is, in fact, the only kind of proof offerable for the existence of love at all, or for the existence of anything spiritual or supernatural, because that type of altruism is an evolutionary disadvantage. in animals you can see some kind of altruism, but it usually corresponds to the continuation of similar genes and is thus an evolutionary advantage--a meerkat will give his life for another meerkat if that meerkat is of the same geneological family, so it's instinctive; but when humans lay down their lives not for their children or their brothers, but for friends or strangers or neighbors, that's the nearest thing we have to "proof" of something divine at work in the human soul.

The mother of my children was like that, as is hers , as is mine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
