The Gap in Meaning Making

When we care to create the conditions of meaning making because we find them inherently valuable, that is constitutive of our capacity to be agents. When we're doing that, what we're actually engaging in is a gape. A gape is to love for its own sake the process of meaning making. That's why of course the things that contribute most significantly to meaning in life is our sense of being connected to other people, agapically. What I'm saying to you is that there is a way of responding to this, which is the cultivation, the realization, the appreciation of agape.
