Comment on Differences I Would Have with Dante by Mark

Ha, it’s been almost a year, but here I am the first to comment. Interesting post, Stephanie. I agree with most of what you said. If you define sin as rejection of God (which all sin is) then one sin is the same as another. If you define sin as dysfunctional behavior, then some dysfunctions are more destructive than other. That’s what contra passo means, you get to live with the dysfunctional choice you have made.

Comment on Think About It!!! by Mark

It’s an interesting question, what age will a person be in the next life. Will a child that dies be forever a child–or will the child become instantly an adult, or start where life left off and grow up? Will old people still be old? Or will their youth and strength be renewed? A lot of interesting questions. I think the answer for a Christian is that God has the answers–that he has a fair way of dealing with the questions. For example, I think parents who lose a child in this life will be reunited with the child, but I also think the child will be allowed to grow to be an adult. But, as Stephanie pointed out, our concepts of time don’t apply in a realm where time no longer exists.

Indeed, human kind does not change, as well as history rotates over and over. Hopefully it won’t be a common thing soon, when a revenge for the accuse will be killing. On TV we can see many of the sad stories. What we can do about making people not so selfish. The problem is that when people get in love, they count the beloved one as a property. It is so wrong! We have to start using different perceptions to love, the one that is unselfish and unconditional!

That’s why I presented three types of love in a transitional states that Paris has experienced. Indeed Agape is unselfish and unconditional type of love. That is the same as don’t matter what will happen “I’ll be with that person.” Paris could turn back and send Helen home after he perceived the dramatic conscequences of his action, but he didn’t do so. On the other hand we could blame honor that made it impossible. In regard to each other PAris’ and Helen’s love was unselfish, but, I think, that they acted selfish in regard to their nation and people, who put their lives because of them. Their love got mature, when it came to the state of Agape after all the emotional hard experience they had after what was done. That’s what I think in regard to that episode of the epic. Each person can interpret it in different ways on the individual matter

Agape love is usually considered unselfish, unconditional, concern for the well-being of the other person, not concern for one’s own needs. Would you say the love Paris and Helen had for each other was unselfish? Was it a mature love? Or was there something infantile and narcissistic about it?
