Are You Campaigning for Affection?

Funny enough, that actually ties into the Greek words Paul uses. He's not just tossing

around ideas about approval or pleasing. That first word, patho, it's about persuading,

almost campaigning for affection. Ever felt like you're running for office in your own life?

I mean, who hasn't? Social media can turn us all into politicians.

We curate and edit, hoping to win some imaginary vote. Patho makes it sound almost exhausting,

like you're constantly lobbying for everyone's favor. And then there's arraskō,

to please, but it's more than just being nice. It's almost like bending yourself

out of shape just to fit someone else's mold. That image hits home.
