This is a great line Susi encompassing so much truth. It is an amazing thing to hug a homeless person, just ask first. Most homeless people are just like us that hit hard times rejected and forgotten. God hasn’t forgotten them.
Your message with this picture says a thousand words. Blessings Susi, hugs Joni
Thanks, Joni! ❤ Compassion, in any form, gives the vulnerable hope there is still love in the world. It would be a better place if all practiced kindness.
I had to look the word up and it is right on point. We do that a lot with our elderly that we consider in the way or any other group we mentally marginalize. “Just get the heck out of the way.”
Yes, I really feel like the title, the image and the statement melded to exactly what I wanted to convey – apathy for the vulnerable and marginalized. Thank you, Pat!
I’m not an etymologist so I dug a little deeper. Here’s what I found.
“Origin: Although there are no actual accounts for the etymology of this word, it is assumed to originate from Greek. The privative prefix ‘an’ means ‘not’ or ‘without’; the Greek anape means love or brotherly love and ‘sis’ is the prefix representing a process.”

Love the word anagapesis, I believe it has it’s roots in the Greek word agapé, meaning that unconditional love we receive from God.
