    Hi Arlo

    Is not agape required for us to act
    more intellectually and with more
    consideration of values, good, quality,
    hence love is that value that enable one
    to recognise the quality in others, and the
    world. Is hate something to do with
    the failure of the other to recognise our/my
    quality? Even when the virus kills us when
    can be conscious of its quality, but we may
    value our own quality more and kill it first.
    Hate is linked to a narrow and local perspective
    that does not see the interaction/conflict of different
    levels of SQ as necessary and containing quality
    at some level if not at all levels. The tiger has quality
    and beauty, but we kill it if it threatens the quality
    of human life. But can we resolve these conflicts from
    love rather than out of hate?

    regards
    David M
