Truth is that which conforms to reality, fact or
actuality.
Being truthful, as one might have expected,
means a strict adherence to a policy of honesty
and openness.
To be virtuous, it is important not just that our
words be truthful, but that our actions be
truthful and consistent with what we have
promised.

In English, the word “love,” which is
derived from Germanic forms of the
Sanskrit lubh (desire), is broadly defined
and hence imprecise, which generates
first order problems of definition and
meaning, which are resolved to some
extent by the reference to the Greek
terms, eros, philia, and agape.
Love
5.
a) Eros is used to refer to that part of love
constituting a passionate, intense desire for
something.
b) Philia entails a fondness and appreciation of the
other.
c) Agape refers to the paternal love of God for
man and of man for God but is extended to
include a brotherly love for all humanity.
Love
6.
On what basis is love defined? Can love be
unconditional? Is love able (or should be able) to cover
all actions and behaviors?
To a Christian, the definition of love comes from the
Christian documents. These documents form the
rational basis whereby love can be defined.
Logically, love is moral or it cannot be love. The
Christian documents support this foundational idea
about love.
Love
7.
Within a wider sense of community, every human
right (legal and social) is founded on the concept that
love must be moral. Love, to be love, inherently has
boundaries and standards.
To love your fellow-man, morally obligates you, to
provide your fellow-man social and legal respect
(protection) for his/her (God defined) RIGHTS.
Love
8.
Showing a genuine concern for the good of
others, with unselfish acts of kindness such
as: compassion, caring, thoughtfulness,
service, and other humanitarian and noble
actions.

11. Social justice is about assuring the protection of
equal access to liberties, rights, and
opportunities, as well as taking care of the least
advantaged members of society. Thus, whether
something is just or unjust depends on whether
it promotes or hinders equality of access to civil
liberties, human rights, opportunities for healthy
and fulfilling lives, as well as whether it allocates
a fair share of benefits to the least advantaged
members of society. (Rawls, John 2003)
