We should remember that there are two definitions and pronunciations of the world spelled a-g-a-p-e:
a·gape 1 (-gp, -gp)
adv. & adj.
1. In a state of wonder or amazement, as with the mouth wide open.
2. Wide open.
a·ga·pe 2 (ä-gäp, äg-p)
AND
n.
1. Christianity Love as revealed in Jesus, seen as spiritual and selfless and a model for humanity.
2. Love that is spiritual, not sexual, in its nature.
3. Christianity In the early Christian Church, the love feast accompanied by Eucharistic celebration.
[Greek agap, love.]
Cute little doppelganger variation, wouldn't you say?
I might add that the usurpation by managers of operations driven by evil intent of words, terms, or concepts reflecting high moral and/or spiritual ideals should come as small surprise to us.

If an individual, through either his own volition or events over which he had no control, found himself taking up residence in a country undefined by flags or physical borders, he could be assured of one immediate and abiding consequence: He was on his own, and solitude and loneliness would probably be his companions unto the grave.

You can't blame the innocent, they are always guiltless. All you can do is control them or eliminate them. Innocence is a kind of insanity.
