Week 3 Reflection

After reviewing the weekly readings, definitions, and graphics on philia, we’ve discovered this is a form of shared respect, responsible love. In brotherly love, we not only have shared respect, and care for another, we consciously make an effort to further their happiness. Find a quote, poem, or short reading that demonstrates this form of love to you. What does this form of love mean to you? How has this form of love been present in your life? Perhaps it’s through a present or past friendship, a colleague or neighbor, or perhaps this is an area of love in which you hope to grow. If so, expand on your quote, poem, or short reading choice that represents this form of love and what it means to you.
