Tough Act To Follow (Free verse) by jroday

I used every gift God gave me. The gift of love is the greatest. It's a difficult thing because there are people I know that I can't stand. But love doesn't mean affection. It means treating them justly even when they are terrible people. That takes a bit of doing, an awful lot of grace.

Blather. Utter, utter blather.

Q: Do you know any other greek words for love besides "agape"?
A: Of course not (though if you don't look them up now you're fucking gay). You just heard there was this ace Greek word for love, agape, and figured they must have all these different gradations like eskimos do for "bum" and "walrus bum". Bow'ls.

And incidentally, calling "agape" greek is dumb; you might as well call "love" Indo-European.

Love,

PS-In case you're wondering, the other Greek words for love are, roughly, "Gay love", "sheep love", "Muskrat love" (ie, "As seen on TV Greek pan-flute love"), "Big Fat Greek Love", "like-love but not love", and "love so pure I shit just thinking about it".
