Greeks believe there are 3 different facets of love manifested in human beings: eros, philos and agape. Eros is physical, sentimental love that grips two people. It has its good and bad sides, as well as selfish and unselfish aspects. It enables two people, a man and woman, to get married and live for each other. However, it may turn to possessiveness, excessive attachment, jealousy and insecurity.

Philos is love as friendship. In elderly couples, philos keeps a happy marriage alive long after the flame of eros has died down. It is love between family and friends. Nevertheless, it is still conditional love; it seeks something from the loved one, family member or friend.

Agape is unselfish, unconditional love. It is a complete and all-consuming experience in itself. It was the kind of love that Jesus recommended to us when he urged us, 'Love thy neighbour as thyself.' Martin Luther King Jr also used the term 'agape' to describe a universal love that 'discovers the neighbour in every man it meets'.

Those who feel agape in its highest form renounce the world to seek the ultimate vision of unity that we call samadhi. Others who are capable of such love choose a life of active participation with the human family, a life of loving service filled with enthusiasm, boundless compassion and selflessness.

Ancient Greeks identified three forms of love: eros, philos, and agape. Eros is passionate and physical, while philos is friendship-based and conditional. Agape represents selfless, unconditional love, a concept championed by Jesus and Martin Luther King Jr. This highest form of love can lead to spi...

PLEDGE FOR MEATLESS DAY - STOP ALL KILLING

Pledge to be Veg on Tuesday, November 25th (International Meatless Day) at https://www.sak.org.in

This simple pledge and action can save on average:

🌍 Environmental Savings Per Person, Per Day (Meatless)
• Water: You can save around 133 gallons (about 503 liters) of water. The production of meat, particularly beef, is very water-intensive, largely due to the water needed to grow animal feed.

• Greenhouse Gas Emissions (Carbon Footprint): You can reduce your carbon footprint by approximately 8 pounds (about 3.6 kilograms). This is often compared to the emissions saved by not driving a car for a certain distance.

• Land Use: Reducing demand for meat helps spare land that would otherwise be used for grazing or growing feed crops. For context, saving 133 gallons of water is more than the water used in the average daily 8-minute shower (which is about 17 gallons).
​

💡 Why the Savings Are So High

The major impact comes from avoiding the resources required for animal agriculture:
1. Feed: Animals like cattle, pigs, and poultry consume large amounts of feed (like corn and soy), which requires significant water and land to grow.

2. Methane: Ruminant animals (like cows) produce methane, a potent greenhouse gas, through their digestive process.

3. Processing & Transport: The entire supply chain for meat products, from farm to table, is resource-intensive.
Choosing plant-based options instead directly reduces the burden on these resources and reduces the pain and conflict that animals bear in the slaughterhouse.
