Specifically, we'll be talking about the Virtue of Compassion and the Principle of Love, joined this time by <strong>Chlorthos Dragon</strong>.</p> <br> <p>In this episode, we talk a bit about parenting, and in particular the need for parents to be able to show empathy to their children...which is sometimes a challenge! We also discuss the idea of self-sacrificing (<em>agape</em>) love, how this is exemplified in the Test of Love in <em>Ultima 7's </em>expansion, <em>Forge of Virtue</em>, and how through the practice of <em>agape </em>we can transform seeming tragedies into...well...something else. Something better, richer, and meaningful.</p><h4>Music</h4> <br> <p><em>Valoria Ships</em>, from the <em>Ultima 9</em> soundtrack</p>
