LOVE OF ALL HUMANKIND AND THE WHOLE WORLD


The Ancient Greeks saw this as the highest plane of love. From the security of having been loved as a baby and child, from loving oneself and being confident that one is lovable, and from having a mature love for another adult comes the ultimate – the maturity of love that enables an individual to extend all these feelings to mankind in general. This is no longer an adolescent ‘change the world’ form of love but one forged from the experience that life cannot and will not go the way you want it to; that everyone has their rights and points of view; and that yours have to fit in with those around you. At this stage you can love those that persecute you; you can turn the other cheek and no longer retire hurt or angry when the world refuses to go your way. Such love is the Christian love of the New Testament in which one loves one’s neighbour as oneself. People in this stage of love really do change the world and contribute to it. The mature adult at this stage expresses his or her general love in specific ways – often with powerful effects.
