For the love of Eros!
The world should be loved. It is one whole bunch of eros. Beautiful, sexy,etheral. We are meant to be attracted by this loveliness of the world. That is the starting point to freedom. Yet, it is a great deception, the world, as we see it, is false, zero,literarily nothing, what paradox! The world is the great deception. Eros is never bad, it should be desired but it is as risky as death! Remember it is love, eros is love! This is our mistake: rather than starting from God so as to bring eros to unity we start from ourselves who are also principaly eros! eros + eros = 0 ( nihilism), God(agape) + eros = 1 ( unity). Because we dare approach eros through our efforts, we get severed and it turns us narcists, and the great lie is perpetrated, and we blame eros for everything. If eros is bad, why would God come down to be eros(man)? He , being eros, as a consequence has attracted everything eros and makes them divine, thus food , meat , wine, sex, money, pleasures are divine attributes. but first by an absolute submission of eros to agape can this pleasures be genuinely realised , and we experience the great transformation of eros through filial into agape!
