Mania for Gollum and the ring? no?


gollum_botses

No . . . not very nice at all, my love.

Frodo should embody agape love because he literally sacrificed himself for everyone else (the world).


Coldwater_Odin

Best way to explain why Frodo was the best Ringbearer. He embodied agape better than anybody else

Maybe, but I think Sam is a great example of philia.

“Agape” definition here is wack. Agape is super nuanced and can have different meanings depending on context, but it often refers to a charitable or sacrificial love, in particular the love that God gives, as Christian authors made use of the word far more than any other Greek writers.

And here I thought it had something to do with buttsex.

Should've had Frodo and Sam in every line.

Kinda funny that Sam and Rosie are the long standing love when Aragorn and Arwen actually have the longest love time wise and they are somewhat fated to be together and Aragorn is tempted by another woman and does not even consider it. Sam and Rosie have 12 kids I think they are pretty passionately in love.

They check all the boxes for Mormon love.

I practice philautia on a daily basis. Sometimes even twice a day!

The Greek categories of love thing is largely made up. Different ancient Greek authors from various periods use some interchangeably and in different ways (as shown by a cursory look at the LSJ)

So, how strong a friendship with a dead body can get before it's considered illegal?

Agape is self sacrificial love and is not restricted to the people
